Went over to Carterton last night, 2 accidents where they are doing the road work stuff on the Hutt road, pissing down. Then on the way home at about 10pm the Featherston side of the Rimatakas was thick with fog, misty rain, ZERO visability, slowest trip I've ever made up the hill, that's for sure, couldn't see SHIT!!!! Scary actually, you think you know the road pretty well until you do it in thick fog!
