I've been slightly remiss this year, but today I've been inspired to have my annual rant about idiots on the road.

This morning it's been, and remains, a little misty. The visibility is such that lights are required, but not so bad that high intensity rear lights are needed. For the record, if you are driving today please use dipped headlights, not parking lights (or as they are sometimes wrongly termed sidelights), not front fog lights, not no-lights-at-all-because-you-ca-see-fine-without-them - the point is that other people need to be able to see you as you drive at them from the fog in your silver car, you pillock.

This message also applies to my fellow cyclists - put your lights on, or you will be driven into by the muppet with no lights on.

Thanks for listening, and Merry Christmas!
