Hi,
My girlfriend and I were driving in East London a couple of days back when a crazy hail/rain storm passed over, like Biblical crazy.
The visibility dropped to about 5m as the rain and hail lashed down.
My girlfriend pulled over to the side/curb of the road (the bus lane) as it was unsafe to continue travelling, after about 30seconds the storm had passed and visibility returned and she continued her journey.
She got a PCN through that shows a picture of her in the bus lane.
The picture shows the rain the puddles look like there are boiling.
It also shows another car taking the same precautionary action.
I've had a look through the Highway code, but cannot see anything about what happens if adverse weather temporarily restricts your vision.
Can anyone help out?
