Fog lights

[malagabob]

Do you drive at night with your front fog lights on when there is no fog. Please explain why you do it. Must have seen at least 8 cars coming towards me last night on a 6 mile A road trip.

[SlackAlice]

Because most of them cannot figure out to turn them off! Most don't realise it's against the law as well.

[Baldric]

Where I am a lot drive on sidelights and foglights, no headlights, I'm guessing they think it looks 'cool'.

[Sipowicz]

The lights are on, but there's no one at home!

[FredPuli43]

Only if I forget to turn them off once the visibility has improved. Perhaps some drivers fancy themselves as rally drivers and have all lights on full at every opportunity.

[Saki]

Brilliant Sipo!

[Baldric]

Sipo, could be right, this is a rural area, we do seem to have a highish % of accomplished Banjo-pluckers!

[Graham-W]

When ice and snow is on the ground the fog lights act like light sabres and melt a way clear for you.

[Baldric]

May the farce go with you!

[malagabob]

Thanks to all. Seems like the foglight users cant read either, as we have not had a reply off them.

[Old_Geezer]

Usually I'd say they have probably knocked the switch on and don't realise. 8 together is probably more of a case of them having come from where it was foggy, and forgotten to turn them off, or chosen not to in anticipation of hitting more fog any moment.

[Hopkirk]

This is my pet hate.

I wish you hadn't reminded me, it has got me so angry.

[wardlaw]

They are just trying to be flash the pillocks.

in my car, a Citroen C2, the fog lights (front and back) will only come on if the headlights are on, and are cancelled once the headlights are turned off. there are also warning lights on the dash. Why are not all cars fitted like this? In the days when we fitted our own fog and spot lights I always wired them that way, and installed warning lights by the switches.
