    What a load of codswallop, all that is needed to be seen is to have your headlights on low beam.
    If you are that paranoid about others seeing you that you HAVE to use your fog lights as well then maybe you might need to use public transport instead of driving yourself

    some more points

    LED daytime running light are not considered fog lights, though they often cast a stronger light than a typical fog light. Why are DRL not blinding...


    Fog lights differ from your normal driving lights and high beams. They are designed to reflect a horizontal band of light across the front of the vehicle, and a special shield built inside the light prevents the beam from being projected upwards. Whats that... not projected upwards...

    i think you need to go do some studies on human perception.

    And the idiot texting in his lap will hit you even if you're lit up brighter than Hiroshima. "Look at Moi" lights work about as well as St Christopher medals. People who aren't concentrating can miss entire herds of elephants crossing in front of them.

    Well it does seem it is the younger p plater commordore , souped upped ricer driving generation that like to drive around with their fog light`s on at night

    If people drive around during Day light with them on it does not worry me so much but at night it is a totally annoying situation and should be Policed and enforced heavily

    So how much fog does one need to be faced with before the fog lights can be used?
    A lot of fog, or just a little? Can we stretch the friendship to turning them on when behind a very smoky old truck?
