There was a number of times I have encountered heavy fog on the highway and guess what? Some people prefer to drive without any headlights on!!!!!

I do too for this reason. My view is : provide police or marked cars. Don't hide in an unmarked car.
One parked on a dangerous part of the road where we have a few accidents so I parked in front of him, asked him if he had broken down, told him about recent history, and suggested he move on as I did not want to meet him again in a different capacity. He looked seriously shocked...I don't think he really knew what to do. I then pretended to make a long mobile call, blocking his camera, to let him sweat for awhile...I drove past on the way back and he had gone!

Blackspot = does not necessarily equal speed.
Might be reduced visibility or a badly paved road, or a sudden curve. There may not be a recognised blackspot in that location anyway.

I always flash to let on-coming motorists know about speed traps.
