Sorry, you are wrong
I see many cars who have fogs lights that are very bright and an annoyance (at best) to me, at least!
Renaults for a start seem to have very bright fogs that seem brighter than their headlights.
They are illegal and anyone who puts them them on to "look cool" is a tool
As stated i would like some proof that they do cause glare. I have yet to say this in any post so far.Originally Posted by Craig & Jude
it states in the law not to have fog lights on when it's not foggy. It's an offence which you will be charged for. Nuff said Case Closed.
It's like having a discussion about speeding, it's against the law, end of.
Are you sure you don't want to talk about taking heroine not being bad for you? or that beating up your partner is acceptable? At the end of the day, it's against the law, you can debate it all you want. It ain't going to change the outcome.
Keep trying.
Ach i hae more tae bother aboot than fog lights....if they piss me off....they get all my lights in face!
First of all what is your definition of glare? Mine would be any unnecessary light being directed towards me whilst I'm driving.
I take it that the opinion 'that they don't cause glare' is just your own, which to my mind hardly makes it contentious as you do seem to have taken up the position of the lone idiot. Its not so much an argument more just a collection of people telling you you're a fcukwit.
By the way whilst coming to your conclusion did you take in to account the effect on drivers of different vehicles such as motorbikes and roadsters which have a different viewing position? You are quite right in the point you made that fogs point down, which is why they are useless as extra driving lights, but did you take into account that fogs reflect off wet roads into the eyes of on coming traffic?
Did you also consider this effect on unlit roads and/or on the driver who may have been driving for an extended period?
Now if you would really like proof how about a little game. Thats if you are willing to stick your neck out.
I'm pretty good with electrics and I happen to have an old light meter at my parents. We should wire a sensitive part of your anatomy up to a car battery via a switch. Then by comparing the light meter reading between when a car switches its fogs on and off we can test your no glare theory, for every time the reading is higher with fogs on you get a shock. I think there would be a few people on here who'd be willing to help out with their cars.
What do you reckon willing to put your 'money' were your mouth is?

i couldn't give a sh$t if you want proof - you are breaking the law and if you think that is OK and are trying to challenge it, then in my book, yer a muppet.:(
Just my opinion mind, bearing in mind I have to deal with both sides of the law on a daily basis...
What's up with it?
Which one? I kind of see him as beaker, ready to experiment on :evil grin:
