Honestly? I knew that they highway code said 100m visibility.
Probably because the widespread unnecessary use of rear fog lights irritates me immensely, and so to make sure I can fully justify to myself my feelings of outrage and moral superiority when I pass an offender, I have previously checked what the rules say and remembered them.
