Lighting Up
Thrasher:
Another rather neat trick of the new systems - if auto lights are ON, then fog lights are not enabled. Hence - you HAVE to think about what lights you are using.
I'm still baffled as to why fog lights do not reset to OFF when the ignition is off.

What about all those eejots who have got badly adjusted dips or those who can't find the dip switch?

I'm firmly convinced that the average motorist doesn't look beyond the end of their own bonnet. Otherwise how come I can see their headlights reflected from trees, roadsigns, etc before they round a bend (meaning I've dipped my lights before they see me, so they don't get dazzled) but they can't see mine?
Edit: Last night I used my foglights for the first time in ages. Mainly as I was the only person about, it was snowing hard, and I didn't fancy being run over by a snowplough. Note how this is different to using them on a dry night and ruining the night vision of the person behind...

Or the people on a motorway when its pouring - who believe sidelights are perfectly fine - until you pull out to overtake something , and then they find their main beam very quickly....Hubby is a HGV driver so I know all about this!

personally i can't stand it when folks are driving around in brilliant sunshine with their foglights on .......is there a point to this practice that i'm missing
thought there was a set distance of visibility before you can have foglights on at all :roll: :roll:

There is - I forget what it is though.
