I totally agree. What on earth happened to common sense?

I hate the fog thing. The tiniest bit of mist and people put on their fogs and then leave them on for the rest of the morning despite the fact it's sunny.
Worse than fogs in light mist is full beams!
I think people need automatic foglights as they clearly have no idea when to use them.

....I agree, stealth. The local Police are currently stopping cars with fogs when it's not foggy. It's part of a campaign costing £800,000! But it also includes crackdowns on speed and mobile phone use and, of course, alcohol. I got stopped for my DRL's but they accepted my explanation and apologised profusely for holding me up as well as commenting how nice my car is.

A do get what ur trying to say RR. but lets face it i have never used the fog light since i got the car as there was no need, n now that the summer is coming a dont think it will be needed for a while! to say this is an immature, irresponsible thing to do is a bit excessive. Lets face it every1 on this forum including yourself has broke the speed limit on the road at some point possibly causing some1 including yourself considerable physical injury, so does that make every1 as irresponsible and immature as myself for changing my fog light. :wink:
perhaps the only way you'll learn is the hard way. so be it! :P
each to thier own IMO!!! :signLOL: :signLOL:
rubber toe:
i agree with the whole fog lights on when not foggy thing but to be honest i think the whole rear fog light missing has been blown out of proportion :confused:
Imho opinion i dont think its a big deal as i've had my car a year now and i've had to use them twice , end of the day etto and i'm sure there are a lot of worse/more dangerous cars on the road than what is in effect a bulb that is very rarely used inop :scared:

@ big stu,
No worries, mate, I'm just expressing my strong opinion about them and was pointing things out in case you weren't aware, albeit somewhat harshly in reaction to your(?) response.
In my neck of the woods there is high ground to cross whichever direction I leave home and the sea mist hangs about quite often. I don't miss not having my front fogs and never found them much help anyway but without a rear fog down here the odds are very much against you.
