See MOT manual.

Section 1.1 says:

"Any additional position lamps are optional and are not included in the inspection."

So no worries, you'll be fine.

it's not a problem, your side lights come on too. Sometimes the fog's too thick for headlights and you can see better on sides and fogs.

You sure they're not wired as driving lights?

AFAIK the fogs won't come on unless the sides(and or headlights) are on too.

They're bloody useless anyway...............

I think you'll find that on at least some of the imports, pressing the fog light switch turns the side lights on as well - thats why the speedo lights up. It did this on my 94 WRX, not sure about the current one. As you say, not much use anyway - replace them with some spot lights!
