I take it your wife stopped laughing long enough to make two babies with you
Nah, I just got her while she was catching her breath between howls of laughter
I was sure that it was because once you get too far inland the smell of English backpackers that have been buried in shallow graves gets to you :yuck: :devil:
In really heavy rain they reflect back off the very wet and shiny ground and blind others far more so than in dry conditions where the road isn't as reflective. Dip, don't dazzle
I'm grumpy because there was no first aider on at work, someone bashed their head and I was left to deal with it
rest of us can see fine in heavy rain with out fogs, if you cant then buy new wipers and stop blinding the rest of us

Might sound silly, but are you expected to do that if you have no training?
I seem to recall from one of the last times I did any first aid training that the stance was 'if you don't understand it, get pro help rather than effect the repair yourself'.
Goes back to professional liability and all that carp, well it could...
Technically yes, but how would it look to you if you went shopping in a supermarket, bashed your head on a shelf and NO-ONE was willing to take responsibility for helping? Last time I did any form of training was seven years ago so did the best I could :shrug:
As far as I can gather, they were grateful SOMEONE did SOMETHING. And I'll be putting in a complaint to to the store manager tomorrow - there should be at least one first aider on every shift, therefore there's zip all guidance on what to do if there isn't one on :shrug:

Stupid ****ing idiots at work...had a problem with all our pumps, Pay @ Pump wouldn't work, tried to phone the help desk, but was on hold, so decided to close the station and re-boot the pumps. Put the cones out to stop people coming in, and some idiot gets pass...I go out to say that we've had to close, hence the cones in the road to stop people getting in...he then starts going on about how there are other people in the station, so he should be allowed to fill up...explain to him that we put the cones out when there where in the station, and if I let him fill up, I would have to let everyone else in. Said that there where two stations within a few minutes drive of us, started moaning about having to use a 5p off coupon...told them there was another Tesco near by...to which is wife replied 'but thats miles away'...its around 3 minutes down the dual carriageway...
why coudnt they just wait where they was till you reboot?

Didn't know how long we would be shut for, plus, when the cones are across the entrance, it means we're closed, or closing...dont understand why people seem to think its OK for them to come in.
Plus, we tried re-booting first, if that didn't work we would have stayed closed until we got hold of the help desk (I've been on hold for 20 minutes before waiting to speak to someone).

Indeed - they are FOG LIGHTS.
Turn the damn things off unless it's foggy.
Rears you can use in any poor visibility/heavy spray - it is illegal and very dangerous to use fronts in the same conditions.
If you use yours in rain, think yourself lucky the camera's patrol the roads these days and not the Police - cos they're too busy doing paperwork
im doing the course atm.... its to approach and assess the situation as well and assure the patient there going to be okay

You MUST use headlights when visibility is seriously reduced, generally when you cannot see for more than 100 metres (328 feet). You may also use front or rear fog lights but you MUST switch them off when visibility improves (see Rule 236).
taken from the directgov website..... in my driving test and my recent company driving check by an examiner (a few months ago), i got told that it is legal to use foglights in very heavy rain.... better to be seen then not seen
Only 4 weeks of uni left for the year ....and I've only just realised how far behind I have fallen Thats ok, I wasn't intending on sleeping anyway

I stand corrected and that rule has obviously changed since I last read the highway code (I wish they would publicise stuff like that).226

Doesn't change my original point about d**ks using them in all conditions - and doesn't alter the fact that they blind in rain.... and visibility below 100m is some pretty serious heavy rain, the sort we hardly ever see in this country.
