Do you drive with your fog lights on or off?

[Gwynleym10]

My mate drives a focus and got fined for doing it!!HAHA!!Serves him right

SUPERB!

[Pal318is]

Done it when I first got my motor, in my youth
But got stoped by the plod and havn't done it since....3 points don't sound to good
Nowdays It really fecks me off when I can't see where i'm going, coz some beeeyach has to have them on so he/she (women as well) can get noticed....Oh well B roads is the best time have to agree

[Chaos]

Fogs on = chavs, neds, harrys, kevins, boyracers etc......

richy u taking note here ?????


its the same with t*ssers who drive with lights on during the day


back when i was younger i had proper driving lights on one of my cars and regulary got tugged for having them on - i took to keeping part of the original box in the car with me so i cud prove what they were. p*ssed me off in the end tho and i binned them.

If I'm going fast (rarely), then on a dual carriageway, sometimes I'll put my lights on...sometimes the wankers who just drift out into the outside lane without looking to overtake actually notice you rather than trying to kill you.

ometimes the wankers who just drift out into the outside lane without looking to overtake actually notice you rather than trying to kill you.

yes how dopeople miss a bl88dy great red thing coming down the road....

[Davenotouring]

Cos they don't even look in the mirrors!

Hope so! Can't wait to get the BMW back on the road.

VTEC is good fun, but I need some torque and RWD!!

[jitvv]

off off

so putting your lights on makes what difference then?

[Davenotouring]

Yeah, cos they are likely to catch a 'flash' of the light and then notice. Simialr to blue flashing lights, but not quite as good.

[AndyTouring]

According to the Road Traffic Act fog lights (those lights under the bumper) are for use in falling snow, fog or conditions of poor visibility.

My brother's a traffic cop & says it's well worth pulling numptys with their fogs on as they usually have something wrong with their car or no tax etc.

It's a fixed penalty ticket job too.

It's no good arguing they're "driving lights" as the RTA defines the light by the position it's mounted in (less than 12" from the ground is a fog if memory serves).

In short, fogs on in good visibility is an invitation for trouble.

[Zayyan]

What I'm wondeirng is....how can you get 3 points for driving with foglights?

And how can you be stupid enough to attract attention to yourself if you have no tax or insurance!?

[Jimbob]

Bloody saxo crew with their fog lights on!!

[hoshy]

I knew there was a good reason for those lovely blue washer jets.

I've named that colour chav blue incidentally.

Underlighting anyone?

[timjbart]

A friend of mine who is boarderline Chav thinks "it tells others you want a race" when you drive around with fogs on

I can kinda see the logic behind you friends remark.

PS I don't,uses more battery power,which in turn, makes the altenator work more,which in turn reduces fuel economy!

right they're off from now on then no question!!! I haven't got money to burn!

[Zayyan]

Good man

[psychochild187]

OFF OFF OFF , i hate the muppets that use them "to look good"
same with the rear fogs

i cant see wen other ppls front or rear fogs are on and i like to see, so i hate beeing blinded by others stupidty or there want to look good,
i use fogs in country roads and mainbeam late at night wen theres no one else around ( u see more hazards eg SAFTY cameras) but if the mainbeam was hooked to fogs that would be cool !

the ppl that drive by fogs only are even more stupid and in need of a swift kickin!

so leave the bloody things off
or your just a chav vvanker

[Simon13]

Everyone says off BUT they do look good on! i myself cannot bring myself to do it because of the stigma attatched to it.

I think my xenons compensate for not having them on. People just pull over now on the m-way! i think they think its some sort of new flash fast twat instead or something, not old skool cool!

I meant blue flashing lights, like police lights, in that they catch your eye. If someone catches a glimse of a light in the mirror they are more likely to have a look and not pull into the outside lane when you are about to go past.

OFF

Now removed.

(Real cars dont have them, they have brake ducts instead )

Touchee!

[timjbart]

As in the scoops at the front that guide air to cool off the brakes? I have those as well as brake lights...

[jay528ise1985]

I hate those C*NTS who drive with their FOG (Not 'driving') lights on cos it's just so inconsiderate to other drivers. Do you really want to be in the same league as the W*NKERS who drive E36s, E46s, Saxos, Novas etc etc?

I do agree though, that our E30's do look particularly sexy with them on!

[hoshy]

Yeah facelift e30s have both brake vents and FOG!!! lights

Got a pre-facelift at home too, will have a looksie but I don't think they have ducts at all. That reminds me. I have pre-facelift foglight for sale. They probably need a clean though.

[Russ]

I know you're not suppose to drive with the front fogs on unless the conditions are bad but I find that my 320 just looks so good with them on!

Now I've started looking out for it I've noticed that loads of other cars drive with their front fog lights on for that rally-esque feel.

So, do you drive with yours on or off?

I couldnt be bothered to read the whole thread, so apologies if tis has been said:

You dont look cool, you look like a twat.

[BMK]

I dont have any!! I just removed them and fitted my brake ducts

[6potWil6pot]

One thing i find funny more than annoying is the amount of ppl i see with Xenons who INSIST on driving with them on at all times, even during the day when the suns beaming down.
Its usually peeps in Range Rovers or Audis i see doing it

[HotboxDeluxe]

I've never had a car with both foggies working at the same time, so off I guess...

[rare]

Xenon headlights are almost as bad, they bloody blind you well bad! Fogs are just asking for trouble, the police dont seem to be fans. I have never used fogs unless....wait for it...Im driving in fog.

c'mon mate, we know you're having us on, Surely everybody knows fogs are mandatory... even in daylight.
