Whats the point?
« on: May 25, 2014, 05:31:12 pm »
One thing ive never really understood is driving round wi fog lights on when its not foggy. I saw 2 or 3 people doing it yesterday. I really dont see the point. Can anyone cast an idea/opinion on why people do this?

Sarcasm for free. Anything after that can only be considered as a bonus.

Just because you think you know something, doesn't make you an expert if you've just read it on the internet, y'know.

Purely cosmetic. What's the point in adding led sidelights or ed30 rears?

(Not saying that I would dream of driving around with fogs on(only as it's illegal though)

Really winds me up too.

I do think that the fogs help with the definition of the front end of the car at night. I put LED's in the back of mine, wired into the sidelights so that they glow (not as bright as side lights):



Please excuse the picture. It is really difficult to take a picture of the front of the car in fog with the headlights on!

I would rather people drove around with fogs on for no reason, than drive around with no lights on at all when its dark/raining

Some people are thick as f**k.

Agree 100%! Some people are so unaware of the conditions, their licence should be taken away...
