European cars have very good non dazzling foglights (that are also generally useless for extra lighting).

    Foglights will NOT save you from 'Rooos. Unless you are doing less than 20km/h (so can stop in the tiny, tiny, tiny distance they illuminate).

    THe only protections from 'Roos is a good strong bullbar so you are not left stranded. They damn things will still jump into the sides of your car ... the roof ... anywhere. At least if you have a bullbar you shouldn't be stranded with a smashed in radiator.

    Are you ok ?? Those mongrel things are even in the pine forrest behind my house. I have to avoid them at least once a week dong the school run through the plantation.

    They are a real problem out my sister inlaws way. She hits them all the time.... the issue is you end up stranded. The only car they had with a bullbar was an old commadore wagon .... A big heavy roo bar. It the only car thats never driven into a 'roo ..... HOWEVER ... they have jumped into the side of it ... across it's bonnet ... into the windscreen... across its roof. They have hit pretty much every panel on the car except the bloody front bumper/bullbar.

    seeya,

    Driving in the U.K. and Ireland over the last 20 years I have needed fog lights twice. Have seen people driving with their fog lights on many thousands of times.

    I couldn't see my back fence this morning because of the fog yet most drivers on the rd had no lights on at all, i only just found out how to turn my fogs on otherwise i would have used them instead of the parkers.
