Monday 21st 48-64F, thick overnight mist, slowly thinning. Visibility, or rather invisibility, was at about 150 yards as I left. 200 yards on my return. More, stinking, dead rats on the road. Why so many?
Sorry for the awful picture. It was supposed to be a topical play on the road sign and reduced visibility.
The traffic was heavy at intervals. With most drivers speeding and many driving nose to tail. The majority were not showing fog lights. Or even the legally required headlights, day and night, in Denmark. It was completely impossible to see rear lights mere seconds after they had passed.
Surprisingly many drivers clipped the outside verge on blind corners. Simply because they had grossly underestimated their approach speed in the fog. This included several huge lorries. So I spent more time on the grass verge, with my back against the hedge, than on the asphalt. Just for my own survival. What will they do when every vehicle has an AI driver? Close all the hospitals? Accidents don't just happen. They are caused.
The afternoon turned to sunshine and some cloud.
