    Funnily enough, front foglights are at the front, and rear foglights are at the rear.

    Rear ones are compulsory, fronts aren't.

    3 days of driving on the motorways in the fog, and all you can see is a red haze in front of you. If there's cars a few car lengths behind, turn off your bloody floglights! You're not acheiving anything, just making it difficult for people behind to see anything, least of all anybody's brake lights.

    Grrrr.

    Where's that? Arcturus or Aldeberan?

    If you stick your fog lights on all the time, it does reduce tailgating which must make the roads safer.

    I think a sensor in the back bumper that flicks on a high intensity light whenever the car behind gets too close (based on your current speed) would be a good idea.

    If you are driving in a stream of traffic and cannot see the (normal) rear lights of the car in front of you then that would be a good time to use fog lights

    Rain, light drizzle or in the case of females- the act of actually driving on a motorway is not a good enough reason to switch your fogs on.

    started a topic No fog here

    No fog here

    Commiserations with those whose lives are currently blighted by the opaque water-vapour stuff

    No sympathy for those cL1nts who are driving about here with fCUKing foglights on - die die die die die die
