Law on fogs?

[Jakewilliams]

Does anyone know if, legally, it's possible to wire my fogs to my normal running lights switch and replace them with a running light bulb so I can have them on When it's dark. Not a blinding light may I add, just maybe even a side light sort of brightness, just for show really.

Illegal unless there's fog

The mongs who use the roads would suggest otherwise mind.

And you'll look like a mong.

Massively.

Didn't mean to come across so harsh but incorrect use of fogs properly boils my piss lol.

I've got a massive vocabulary for offending stupid drivers haha

 

[DrR]

I hate you for intentionally wanting you fog light on

 

[Jakewilliams]

I want a dim running/sidelight in there instead of a fog bulb just for show, People seem massively against it so I sharnt bother

 

[welshname]

But it looks s**t.

 

[banther]

Burn this thread. Burn it down.

Foglight w4nker.

 

[Jakewilliams]

Should've have asked.

 

[ilovewilly]

You could turn them in to driving lights.

That's exactly what I'm asking, I want to do that. Is that illegal?

 

[SC03OTT]

Just turn your lights on.

 

[dangerous dave]

The police will pull you over alllllll the time, they'll fine you in the end regardless of bulbs..

They'll then question the legality of your mot and tell you to change them back after another mot or some shizzle..

They'll troll you.

 

[loggyboy]

You could change the bulb to a 5/10w that would be classed as a side/aux light.

As for 'Guidance' on use of foglights - 'fog' is irrelevant, its visibility that needs to be seriously reduced, this could be fog, mist, spray, smoke.
Sadly the highwaycode actually guides people to use them incorrectly! It states they should be used WITH headlights, when by design they are only any use when your headlights light up the fog more than the road etc. The fog lights disperse light over a lower and shorter distance to light up what is closer to you, therefore headlights and fogs together are pointless.
The 'LAW' gives better guidance, its states you must use headlights when dark and/or when visibility is reuced, UNLESS you have fog lights. Denoting that you can drive without headlights on when you are using fogs (when visi is reduced).

 

[fairm010]

But the Clio only allows your fogs on when you have headlights on IIRC.

 

[Jakewilliams]

Thanks guys, don't think I'll bother then

 

[Ben.Block]

Do it m9, f**k everyone else!!!!!

 

[BoatNonce]

Since the requirement is based on visibility...

Tint your windscreen really dark. That way your visibility is 20cm 24/7 and therefore you can definitely legally use your fogs 24/7.

That comment tho

No they go on with sides.

Sidelights. If you've got sidelights on you can turn the fogs on. That's what you're supposed to do.

 

[DrR]

Oh yeah I love the sidelights and fogs on brigade.

 

[Short Norman]

wonder how many fog lights w*****s are now trying to say they are DRL's when they get pulled over.

w*****s, f**king w*****s the lot of them.....

saw one on Saturday driving along merrily behind a plod car. Said plod car wasn't bothered, I'd have pulled him over and tazered him.

 

[Marc.]

Should be punishable by death. Fog lights are for 100%, mouth breathing, oxygen thieving morons.

Providing its actually foggy, thats how they should be used!

Who have debadged 318s

 

[Short Norman]

slightly off topic but f**k me how many cars are driving around with a headlamp out.........f**king buy a new bulb and put it in.

 

[Advikaz]

Creating a thread like this is worse than sleeping with one of the cs moderators mums.

Was nice knowing you.

 

[Knuckles]

I like it when fog light w*****s have a fog light out.

I reallllly want to let one of them know that their cornering light is stuck on.

Pricks

What about when they have one cornering light on and you think 't**t', then it slowly fades off. I hope that's not just me! (They're still t***s though).

Nope, I'm guilty of that.

I go as far as to say 'ah! You f**king pauper fog light wanker, fog light out on your piece of s**t... Oh, cornering light... f**k you VAG!'

 

[jesus]

LOL!

Police over here should be armed. Specifically traffic police, but for the sole purpose of shooting out fog lights that are lit.

 

[BoatNonce]

TBH anyone who has a car with cornering lights that look like foglights is a tosseur so rage is acceptable.

Getting a slight hint that people dislike incorrect use of fogs, on here

Only one step above middle lane hoggers.

Only one step above middle lane hoggers.

Oh damn, they're the worst

 

[James363]

I was being followed up the M40 by a white BMW with fogs and high beams on the entire time (and i was in the slow lane before anyone asks), so I slowed down to force him past, then chased him down with my 100W rally bulbs and Xenon Auxiliary rally lights on for a bit... RIP retinas.

 

[DrR]

Slow lane? Didn't know the lanes had different speeds on?

 

[James363]

*left hand lane
*not lane hogging
*etc
