Ive not had any problems with the old bill in my 182. Its not like im a wreckless driver or anything, but I kinda thought I would have been stopped at least once by now as im a young driver in a fast car.

agree with some comments about coppers being wa*kers as i see a lot of police cars around by me with there fogs on in normal weather, and a volvo went past me the other day doing about 90 on a 50 limit with no lights on (strange being a volvo) and no blues,
a17tav perhaps they were telling you that the fogs look sh!t with zenons on in their own way
All the stories about the local police in nottingham being overwhelmed with the amount of murders, but when theres people with fogs on they make the time!
Basically coppers have moods like everyone else, 90% of the time ud of probaby got away with just a warning but unfortunatley you probably caught some on and off night and a fine is the result.

Right, first of all, you shouldn;t have had your fogs on, so what you got done for (presumably) was afir enough. Consider £30 enough of a reason to keep your fogs off when its not f**king foggy.
But, Notts Police are a bunch of c**ts, simple as, they are the reason I have 5 points and my insurance is about double what it should be.
Notts Police do not like young people in any cars, they also dont like the fact that they are now also fire arms officers, which means they get quite a bit of work. They are generally a pissed of bunch of guys!
You MUST use headlights when visibility is seriously reduced, generally when you cannot see for more than 100 metres (328 feet). You may also use front or rear fog lights but you MUST switch them off when visibility improves.
The weather on the night in question was good, so there was no need to use the fog lights

Remeber a few years ago, the big accident on the A610 near Ikea? November time, brought Nottingham to a stand still? I was involved in that.
Well, A Police Officer hadnt done his job properley, then lied in his statement and said he had, and all the other Police backed him up.
He should have coned something off, instead he did one to eat do-nuts.
That is to cut a long story short.

I live in nottingham so i'll have to look out for them!

I think its glaringly obvious that the lad in questions was using the fog lights as a fashion accessory. Its a £30.00 fine so stop your whining.
And what a traffic officer would have to do with solving murders in Nottingham is truly and utterly beyond me.
And why I am posting in a 2 year old thread also begs the question of WHY!

Seb I'm surprised at you! They are not for 'poor weather conditions' they are for seriously reduced visibilty less than 100 metres, which is fog or snow, but NOT rain.
They shouldnt be used in the rain as the dazzle is worse.
As for the guy who started this post, you admit to driving with your fogs in in clear weather. You admit you know its illegal. Then you ask why you were stopped. Isnt it obvious? And then you moan you were followed by another police car for a mile. Maybe they were just going the same way??? Sometimes the car they are behind just happens to be that, it doesnt mean they are watching you just because they are behind you.
Edit - Two years old? Wish I hadnt bothered typing that now...

Are you not being a bit paranoid? You get stopped the first night coz u had your fogs on and it wasn't foggy. The second time you got followed (a police car travelling along a road has to follow someone, just the same as the car behind the police car is following the police car). I'm sure if they wanted to pull you they would have done. Sometime they will follow you until they have the PNC result from HQ. This can take a while if the channel is busy (hence one mile).
Yesterday i was driving home from the gym at 845pm and was pulled by the police for driving in really bad weather conditions with my fog lamps on after being questions and questions who what where why al about the 182 they finally fined me 30 notes (ford st 24 mon est) police man and women all i got from the woman was that she couldnt afford the car i am drive so!!!
Today fealing 30 notes lighter i was followed for a mile i then i pulled up as he was starting to do my head in! i got out the car look at them (3 police men in focus est) then they drove off......
Live in Nottingham area what you all think!!!!!!!!

I got pulled in the early am in the cup on the way to leeds once by the hefty v70. My tax disc had fallen off the windscreen and was in the little tray above the clock.
After all had been cleared over the wireless and i passed the attitude test I got to see and test out all the gadets they had on board...feckin brilliant!!
Not all traffic police are bad chaps.

is dirty.
I've been pulled 3 times for having my fog lights on and never given a ticket but then after those 3 times my luck ran out and I got fined £30 for beeping at night in Swansea's busiest place on a friday night..how sad. I got in the police car and didnt say anything apart from 1 word answers. The ticket was practically prepared as I got in the car.
