As a matter of fact, I've even got over being affronted by 4x4's with Max Trax, Wallaby jacks and fluoro handled shovels on their rooves in a shopping centre.

I’m with you......notice the odd car every now and than but it doesn’t bother me.

Did have a hire car awhile ago and got flashed twice, so I hopped out and had a look at the front and noticed the fog lights were on, worked out how to turn them off only to be flashed a number of times during the hire.

Figured it must have been an issue with the headlights as I always drive with headlights on.

On a wet but not foggy or raining road they’re bloody horrible.

Ah. Ok that makes sense.

[biggrin]OK. But I have never owned a car with foglights until the recent P38 purchase, and I haven't used them yet. (Yes they are turned off[bigsmile1])
I think they turn off with the ignition and stay off.

That's illegal and you can be booked for using them when there is no fog, as my son was.
