Come on then, own up.....!!!!
 
So, honestly, who has driven with foglights on in some sort of "posing" way??

I used to, when I first drove. My first car had fog lamps and they were ON, sidelights and foglights. Rude boy!! :D

I don't now - but come on, who has??

It's not pointless - its a laugh. Asking about fridge lights is pointless - but funny never the less.


P.S. - Ban me???

Only when the Corsa brigade are around - kind of like "you call THEM foglamps?" :D

oh- and it was foggy last night...

I'll be completely honest and say yes I used them once for no apparent reason other than to impress on the public that my car has big lights on the front to make it look similar to its rally cousin.

However, it was only once and tbh the fog lights are pretty rubbish anyway even in fog so they may as well be used at some point. There is one chap locally who appears to have wired his direct to the ignition so they are permanently on but he also sticks his elbow out the window - nuff said.

Front fogs on a scooby are bright enough to light up a small town though aren't they!!

My AX GT (first car). The front fogs would ONLY turn on with the headlights on full beam!! So, I paid an auto-electrician 30 mins labour to enable me to use them at any time. Cost of £20!! lol

Freak 10 November 2004 05:08 PM

Used to when i was 17 in my dads cars...
'Cruising' lights :D
My bmw doesnt have them- i removed them so i dont have that luxury any more

Markus 10 November 2004 05:11 PM

Never done it in posing way. only time I've driven with fogs on and it's not been foggy was on IOW when my headlights gave out, had no other lights apart from main beam, so had to use foggies to see when not on main beam.

That's because they are driving lights and not fogs :rolleyes:

Little Miss WRX 10 November 2004 06:28 PM

I have to admit in my younger years I used them as a pose factor. However, I must be getting old nowadays, because it irritates me to see other drivers doing it. :D

ALi-B 10 November 2004 06:30 PM

I turned them on my dad's car when I was about 15 or 16 :D

He could never find the switch :lol1:

ScoobywagonGl 10 November 2004 06:36 PM

I used to in my Smart Pure but only cos the headlights were crap and the fog lights weren't actually bright enough to be fogs :rolleyes:

M444GY 10 November 2004 06:38 PM

pisses me off when u get blinded by some chav comin the other way . u can always see 4 lights and 2 little neon lights on the bonnet bombing along . i should fit industrial flood lights into my bumper and see how they like it , just imagine:)

Peanuts 10 November 2004 06:40 PM

illegal when visibility<315ft arent they?

dont have any front fogs on my scoob so no I dont.
I did for about three days til I realised how antisocial I was being to other drivers oncoming.

Jap2Scrap 10 November 2004 07:12 PM

When I had my MR2 (Mk 2) I used to pop the fogs (yellow and very dim) on when it was just getting dusky if I was on the motorway. There's some serious economy issues about pop-up headlights. That was my excuse anyway, the pop-ups would turn an aerodynamic car into something sleek with a pair of parachutes on the bonnet. Must have saved all of a quid somewhere along the line. :D

vindaloo 10 November 2004 07:16 PM

I have used them out of their proper context. What I used to find was they lit the verge of the road far better than the headlights (also switched on) when driving on narrow lanes through the woods (Burnham Beeches). It gave me an edge in avoiding crap holes, depressions, mud and whatever at the verge. Used to turn them off when I hit civilisation. Those cars (Astras) had fogs (front and rear) that wouldn't remain on next time you used the car.

I can't offend at the moment as I don't have fogs. Both cars have driving lights.

corradoboy 10 November 2004 07:28 PM

Used to in my yoof, for about a year 'til I grew up. Occaisionally pop them on when on unlit Dales routes to light the soft verges a little, but ideally I want to change them for DL's.

yoza 10 November 2004 09:31 PM

All the time.

In my Subaru, Peugeot, and Cherry.

PS. The Cherry didnt come with them, so I fitted some RING ones and tilted them up a bit.

No Im not joking, I have them on all the time, along with my blue sidelights. of course.

Clarebabes 10 November 2004 09:34 PM

I never had a posh enough car when I was younger to enable me to put fog lights on anyway. Thought that was the really bright red thing on the back - only one side mind..... :D

Poor Guy 10 November 2004 10:57 PM

i always have mine on this time of year. everyone seems to pull out on me and my little classic. really annoying. yesterday i had a lexus do it and a swift. most days for the past month people have been doing it.

Lum 11 November 2004 12:04 AM

I only do it when the codger in front has his rear fogs on unnecessarilly.
Very rarely you get one who actually uses his rear view mirror and gets the hint, usually I just overtake then flash my rear fog a few times, I have no idea if this gives them the hint or not.

I see the bait, it looks tasty. However i also see the line so I won't be taking it.

P.S. Fog lights on is not "chav" at all. Stop using chav in its wrong sense - it's ruining a great word.

I don't own a scooby so no, deffo not a Chav. A 15yr old car makes me "anti-chav". ;)

Diablo 11 November 2004 09:26 AM

No bait mate, just fact :D
