> Makes sense to me -- how fast should you be driving in fog, anyway?
Well, maybe I was a little optimistic when I said 20 MPH. I originally
wrote 10 MPH then changed it. :-) We seldom have *really* thick fog
around here. Although I remember one New Year's Day, about 3 AM, I
was driving home from a friend's house and never got about 5 MPH the
whole way. If I'd known the fog was that thick all the way home
I'd have turned around and gone back. What a night be to driving
with low visibility! I never saw more than one dashed centerline
ahead of me most of the way. In visibility like that, those lights
would have been ideal. I had an amber Hella foglight on my MGB,
and its cutoff was about 25 feet in front of the car. That was a
little more useful for the "heavy" fog we have around here, where
your visibility is more like 50-100 feet.
