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

InvisibleMan 22 November 2005 06:15 PM

i bet theyve got their fog lights on tho ;)

unclebuck 22 November 2005 06:16 PM

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

pete1977 22 November 2005 06:18 PM

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 22 November 2005 07:02 PM

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

ALi-B 22 November 2005 07:16 PM

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! :mad:

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 22 November 2005 07:22 PM

Yeah...cos it's cool :rolleyes:


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 ;):D

SiDHEaD 22 November 2005 07:27 PM

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 prick infront.

ALi-B 22 November 2005 07:29 PM

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 :)

I suppose it's that time of year again...

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 TWUNT!"

And breathe...

prodriva 23 November 2005 08:45 AM

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 23 November 2005 11:30 AM

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

andypugh2000 23 November 2005 12:56 PM

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" :Whatever_ :cuckoo:

BOB.T 23 November 2005 01:37 PM

Aaaaaargh, my current pet hate! :mad:

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

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! :rolleyes: 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 arse 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,


I have to use my fogs for a couple of days as one headlight bulb blew, but wouldn't normally. They're not that bright tho.
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! :rolleyes: :p

And breath :)

StickyMicky 23 November 2005 02:10 PM

i have big ass driving lamps on mine so i am allowed to put them on whenever i drive :p

King RA 23 November 2005 02:49 PM

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

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

rr_ww 23 November 2005 04:29 PM

I knew there'd be a thread on this today :D

Real cars dont have front fogs. Just Brake cooling ducts

HTH :)

StickyMicky 23 November 2005 05:17 PM
