Really annoyed, was out driving last night and one guy flashed his foglights at me thinking my sidelights were fogs... then when i got into city centre some tw@t in a van flashed his lights at me and shouted out his window to me to switch my F***ing lights off!?
Can only think that as i was sitting at lights on a hill that my xenons were leveled right into his view? Wish i had been quicker off the mark and flashed my lights to show the trick what full beam is :ragin:
Anyone else get this?

It annoys the hell out of me too when I see other cars with their front fogs on, but I can see why folk think that the R56 sidelights are fogs purely down to where they are situated.
I have stopped reacting to it though as I really don't think it would be worth the hassle if you annoyed the wrong type of person who in turn would want to take the issue to another level, so to speak.
Dunno why so many folk do drive about with their front fogs on. It's usually the younger driver who does it to look 'cool' but then again I see a lot of older people who probably think it's the 'norm' to drive about with them on.
I do get really pi$$ed at folk driving around with rear fogs on when there is no need to at all. Generally though, these people have usually forgotten to switch them off & react by actually switching them off when prompted with a quick flash.

Get 4 spotlights put on the front so when someone does flash you you can blind them. Think of it this way, you have a better car than they do so sod them.

See that's just wrong, wrong, wrong.:frown::frown::ragin::ragin:
The number of assholes out there who genuinely break the law by having their fogs on when not required and nothing happens, and Nenah gets done for having legal side lights on. The worlds gone mad.:frown:
A.:sad:

Xenons are a pain in the retina when sitting at at a junction with a car on an incline across from you.
Just shows that the auto-levelling mechanism does not really work well enough.
