I've just driven from Basingstoke to Chepstow in a 26 ton lorry.
Im shocked and not shocked at how many drivers are driving in this fog with NO LIGHTS ON!! In some places visibility is down to just 20 metres!
Are you just a moron or do you not understand how invisible you are in this weather? Your automatic lights will not work, you must manually turn them on and off when needed.
This should be an instant ban for driving without due care and attention. The standard for driving is declining at a scary rate.
TURN ON YOUR LIGHTS IN FOG, RAIN AND DARKNESS!!!!!!

Curious about what happens during a driving test? Here's what to expect on test day.

An eyesight check 👀
You'll read a number plate from 20 metres away or 20.5 metres if it's an old-style plate.

'Show me, tell me' vehicle safety questions 💭
You'll answer 2 questions about vehicle safety. The 'tell me' question comes before you start driving and the 'show me' question while you're on the move.

General driving ability ✅
You'll drive on a variety of roads, but not on motorways, including 20 to 35 minutes of independent driving, following either a sat nav, traffic signs, or both.

Reversing your vehicle 🚗
You'll be asked to do one of the following: parallel park, park in a bay, or pull up on the right and reverse 2 car lengths. Your examiner will let you know which one.

Knowing what's coming can make test day feel a lot less daunting.

Familiarise yourself with the test: https://ow.ly/p52350ZP1l7

It's amazing how many times I see things like this.
This was us driving on a mock test today, many times I see drivers driving too fast up this road. The kid was lucky, this time!

Packing the car for university ahead of move-in day? 🎓

Between the duvet, the desk lamp and the "just in case" box of kitchen utensils, remember to add some vehicle checks to your to-do list.

Before you head off, take the time to check your vehicle’s tyres for any cuts, bulges, cracks or other damage.

Also consider increasing the tyre pressure if you’re:

✅ Driving with a full car of passengers

✅ Carrying a heavy load

Your vehicle's handbook will tell you the recommended maximum tyre pressure for your car if you’re not sure.

A few minutes now could save you a lot of stress later.

Save this post before you set off and check the Highway Code to stay safe on the road: https://ow.ly/gRpj50ZP6NP
