Fog + Auto headlights + Idiots = Disaster

This morning in the UK we have a thick blanket of Fog - meaning the visibility on the road is around 50 yds at most.

The majority of cars on the road have their headlights on, and fog lights - as you would expect but there are a good handful who have not. No headlights on at all!  The cars that these idiots belong to are the sort of cars who will have Auto headlights (they come on when its  dark and go off when its light.)  So obviously the fact that these drivers no longer have to think about switching on / off the headlights when its dark, has made them stupid.  They have failed to think that perhaps they should put on their headlights and fog lights when its a very foggy day.  These are the kind of people who will walk into a lamppost because they were staring at a woman's boobies, and sue the council because the lamppost was there, and not made out of soft duck feather filled pillows!

I saw a near miss this morning because of this.  A car coming the other direction turned in front of a car, because it couldn't see it - it had no lights on at all!  Perhaps the Auto Headlights switch should come with a sticker saying "sometimes you might have to turn them on manually when its not dark, but you cant see jack all. Fools."
