Thursday, 28th March, 4.30pm at the M80/M73 slip. You were in truck, I was in silver Peugeot. We exchanged glances a couple of times before we went in different directions - you to the M73 south. You tried to tell me something via mime - couldn’t understand. If you want to meet up, PM me.

Well, that narrows it down a bit. Welcome to the forum, by the way.
Is this a romantic assignation or are you looking to obtain redress for some perceived breach of motoring etiquette?
me thinks the OP needs to post a piccy of themself
purely identification purposes only
The mime could well have been confusing. The driver may have a) Been offering an opinion on the op’s driving, b) been offering the op a coffee, or c) asking the op for a romantic liaison. All very similar mimes
That was me, and I was trying to tell you that there was no fog, despite you having your rear fog lights on.
On the other hand a Peugeot with enough functioning electrics for the rear fog lights to do anything is quite a novelty

By crikey, that annoys me. I see so many of these idiots with two thousand watts of red LEDs glaring out from the back of their car in conditions of very light mist, or rain or even just perfect visibility.
Here are a few tips:
- fog lights are for when you can’t see your hand in front of your face. When lamp posts loom out of the murk and you can’t actually see the next but one white line. If you can drive at 70 then you don’t need fog lights.
- you’re not making yourself less likely to be rear ended by using your fog lights in conditions of light mist. If anything, all you’re doing is effectively “hiding” your brake lights, by already having a very bright red light on the back of your car. This is especially noticeable if you have two fog lights.
- have a look around you. Can you see the tail lights of the vehicle half a mile ahead of you? If you can, you don’t need your fog lights, as it’s a racing certainty that everyone can see your tail lights too.
- still got your fog lights on? Then you’re an idiot.
it was me mate, wanted to know if you were up for some fun in the next lay by. i collared someone else in the end, don’t worry about it.
possibly the strangest first post I’ve ever read
No, it was me. I was trying to show you my “last turkey in the shop” shadow puppetry routine.
I had a feeling this was going to a busy slip road!
I think the person was was trying to gesture remember to use your seatbelt , a footballer did the same gesture the other week after being sent off ,and making his way to the Tunnel, I think he was telling the Ref remember to use your seatbelt on the way home , may have been the Arsenal goalkeeper ,I’m sure someone will put me right on this one if they seen the same game .
Wowwee I would love to have seen whatever happened between these two. It must have been interesting enough to make one person sign up to a website in an attempt to seek some form of redress

Bloody new Mercedes car LED brake lights are the worst, sear your eyeballs, so bright the flickering that you can’t determine the rate of deceleration and you can’t see past the blinding bloody things to get an idea whats happening in front.
Its a light war out there, God help the poor old cyclist or pedestrian fast disappearing into the shadows.

It would be better if all fog lights defaulted to off when the engine was stopped, rather than a switch that could be left on for next time the engine was started.
Thanks for all the replies so far. No, I didn’t have on fog lights - they annoy me as much as you. This was a genuine attempt to make contact with one of you lot, with an attempt at a romantic assignation -yes, I’m male, what the heck.

Good on you, and I hope you find each other. (Genuine post, by the way!)

…So, Rob, are you coming ‘out’, or out of the equation? That quote could, after all, be taken two ways.
