Seems likely that vehicles were following too close and driving too fast for the conditions. Some had no headlights on apparently  LL.B (Hons) - University of Derby

Can't have been a nice place to be in the middle of that lot

Don't think anyone has died either which to be honest seems like a miracle too considering the amount of cars and possible speed involved Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

If you cant see where you will stop then its your own fault, yes some will have been hit from behind no doubt.
People won't learn, also annoys me with these stupid DRL leds, drive round with those on and no rear lights showing, safety my ar
Dark nights approaching earlier and now the fog light wits are amongst us too

Rant over....as you were

Ok cheers  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Drls on cars are such a bad idea. I ride a motorbike and have a light on to improve my visual profile. Now that loads of cars have the, same bikers profile blends in once again. I can see cars as they are big things mostly, I don't need there lights in in good visibility, if I did I should not be driving.

I left at 5 this morning, some of the A41 on the Bucks Oxon border I was down the 25, 30mph, could not see a thing, its the thickest I've driven in for many a year, then I here on the news tonight that they say the cause could be down to no street lights on the bridge and the lack of signs warning them of the fog, have we become such a nanny state that we cannot see the dangers, you do not need signs to tell you there is fog, you can see it, the cause is they were driving to fast for the conditions. At 7am this morning having headlights would not help them see, only be seen. p****d off with a Digital Keyboard Warrior

I'm spending more time driving round with my side lights on rather than the DRLs as

A. They look better
B. It puts the taillights on

Side lights, what the difference between them on or off, those just look like DRL  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

The DRL has a circular light in the middle that lights up. Sidelights are just the outline.

I never use the side lights on my car, it's always on Auto, and if I want lights I turn them on to dipped beam.

But those about just look like lines, no internal lit up bit Confused Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

DRLs;



As opposed to just sidelights;

LR has it arse for elbow

Those cluster things are on all the time, the picture with signature outline is actually sidelights. 21MY Defender 90 S 3.0 D200

The do don't they, think someone got it wrong  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

When I ordered signature lights I though it would look like the bottom photo and sidelights like the top photo in Chris's post. 21MY Defender 90 S 3.0 D200

The RRS lights have a similar design but without the spotlight in the middle, much better design IMO.
