You MUST use headlights when visibility is seriously reduced, generally when you cannot see for more than 100 metres (328 feet). You may also use front or rear fog lights but you MUST switch them off when visibility improves (see Rule 236).

You lot invited William (of Mary fame). That's how the Dutch came to be here. By the way, we ruled the waves before you did....

My recollection from when I sat my car test (it wasn't yesterday) was the distance a cyclist should be passed at should be sufficient, that should he fall off in to the road one would not make contact.
Maybe the condition of the roads was better then?
