Legal stuff re "Driving" lamps

<< < (2/8) > >>

davidlandy:
some motorway snowploughs have them on the roof

are they ok????

Donald the Disco:
As far as I know under the terms of the "Construction and  use" article that you have to abide by, the snowplough lorrys  have an exemption clause, regarding the headlights on the roof.

The wagons with the multi spot / driving lamps are also legal as they are not on during the day and are wired into the main beam dip unit.

As for the xmas trees and other junk lights, yes they would fail the MOT and any road side examination by the VI.   But then it is xmas after all, season of good will and all that jazz :lol:

Then there is the issue of fog lights.................I won't even go there yet!
another minefield  :twisted:

strapping young lad:
maybe another thread discussion paul but something that is increasing a lot more is unnecessary use of front fogs

annoyes me cos they are bright

BUT

my spots are brighter

not that i would use them of course!  :twisted:

Andy.:
Certainly does seem to be on the increase (use of front fogs) and what also annoys me is when people forget to turn off there rear fogs once they are no longer needed  :evil:

And while we are on lights in general I hate those drivers who don't bother to indicate at roundabouts  :evil:

Also what I have noticed is a growing increase in the likes of the 'Nova' and 'Corsa' boy racers (village idiots) fitting those under body lights which run along the sills and a 'Knight Rider - Kit' style front light bar. Are these legal, because if you go into many a car accessories shop nowadays they can be bought very easlily  :?:

strapping young lad:
i have thought about putting them green lights under the vehicle and pretend to be vin diesel!
