why are there so many idiots who do not put their lights on in the fog ?!

InvisibleMan

i bet theyve got their fog lights on tho

unclebuck

The same idiots that put their fog lights on when there is no fog no doubt.

pete1977

or the same idiots that put full beam on!

scoobydooooo

no , not a thing , nada , zip !! as in no lights

OllyK

Because everybody else has their fog lights on so it wouldn't look cool to have them on any more?

I have to use my fogs for a couple of days as one headlight bulb blew, but wouldnt normally. Theyre not that bright tho.

SiDHEaD

I saw a ***** the other night with no lights except a rear fog on. God knows how they even managed that!!

I refuse to use my front fog lamps in the fog...I'd hate to associated with "that" fraternity

Dipped beam and rear foggies are on though


I still never forget the day I saw a woman driving in the fog, at night, in the snow on a ungritted icy road with no lights on at all!

SiDHEaD

WTF Are you serious? Your one of these barsts who has rear fogs on just cos its foggy. Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh if so. They shouldn't be on if there is a car following!

ALi-B

Yeah...cos it's cool


If you keep to the reccomended beaking distances set out for thick fog with wet/icy conditions you won't be able to seem them anyway

SiDHEaD

Luckily i think you're talking about thicker fog than me. The lesser fog we had the other day all down the road u could see a row of rear fogs and me following with full beam blasting the ***** infront.

Oh yeah, don't bother in misty conditions. When I mean foggy, I mean slowing down to 20mph because you can't see the bonnet scoop, let alone what's infront - that is my idea of fog

They cant as the bulbs have blown from excessive use on bright sunny days.....

I can't believe the number of people who use fogs when there's no need. You feel like shouting at them "Can you see the tail lights of that car over there? THEN YOU DON'T NEED FOGS, YOU *****!"

And breathe...

Yep, fogs on in this type of fog is just not necessary. FFS the mearest whisp of mist/fog round here (Woking/Camberley) and every other car has their fogs on. As for the new beemers jeez, they dont need fog lights. Those rear lights are soooo bright it hurts. It's the ones that switch on the parking lights and then have the fogs on that infuriate me, whats the point.

Oh yes, and the black blob-eye that heads towards the Gordon-boys roundabout near Lightwater every weekday morning. SWITCH THEM OFF.

probably wired up to show he was using the cigar lighter

StickyMicky

the amount of fog was unbelivable round my area yesterday morning (north east coast)

andypugh2000

I think manufacturers are partly to blame for the excessive use of front fogs, why dont they wire them up so they only come on with rears when dipped beam is selected??

Heard the new ford focus advert on the radio lately?? It says The new ford focus.....now comes with "sporty front fog lamps"

BOB.T

Aaaaaargh, my current pet hate!

I'm sick of it all, why are these dumbass's allowed to own a car!

I think it boils down to two categories,

1, I can see where I'm going therefore I don't need to switch my lights on.

2, It's foggy, yippee I can use my fog lights but I'm still not gonna use my mirrors so I'm oblivious to the guy behind having his retinas burnt out.

I have a Focus, complete with sporty front foglights! They're sh*te, really not worth switching on but I have to! The switch is in two stages, fronts on the first click, rears on the second so if I want to avoid having someone with no lights on ramming me up my **** I have to have my fronts on! BTW, when you turn the headlights off, the fogs automatically turn off too, it's impossible for Focus owners to leave fogs on or switch them on by accident, you work out who the tosspots are

And as for,

No, just go buy a bulb! Your fogs might not be bright but you're still breaking the law (on possibly two counts) and you're being chuffing annoying!

And breath

StickyMicky

i have big *** driving lamps on mine so i am allowed to put them on whenever i drive

King RA

I got banned for 20 months from driving for having my front fogs on accidently.

scoobydooooo

ru'

If you listen to some peeps here then you got away lightly!

rr_ww

I knew there'd be a thread on this today

Real cars dont have front fogs. Just Brake cooling ducts

HTH

StickyMicky

but classics come with brake cooling ducts and fogs
