Move along, people. Nothing to see here.

Double posted and cannot see a delete option, so if a Mod or Admin would be so kind.

Although its been covered before a primary thing with driving on a Motorway especially at night time or dusk when its been/is raining are your wipers and washer jets. Its very easy to be dazzled by oncoming traffic and if your wipers are ineffective then it becomes a nightmare.

Always make sure they are in good condition and you have enough washer fluid to cover your journey. Your lights are another, minis are small enough and if you are driving with defective lights then its even worse.

If its foggy then DO use your rear fog light but as soon as its cleared turn the damned thing off. If you have front fogs then again in the right conditions then use them but if its normal clear conditions do not use them. ITS NOT COOL its bloody annoying.

Everything else has been pretty much covered. Treat it as a bit of fun but ALWAYS ALWAYS keep your wits about you. If you feel tired then get off the motorway as soon as possible, find somewhere safe to stop and have a nap if required.

Enjoy.
