Fog lights are for foggy weather!

What is the obsession with driving around with some people who drive with their fog lights on? If it isn’t foggy there is no requirement for using them. They might think it makes them look cool – in fact they look like complete #@&#!’s. Fog lights are very bright and in fact become a distraction if the weather conditions are fine.

In certain conditions it is even dangerous to have your fog lights on when they are not required. This is especially true in narrow winding country roads where there is a good chance of blinding the driver coming in the opposite direction.

Then there is the other extreme where people who drive around without any of their lights on when the weather is actually foggy! Let common sense prevail and pray that people use their fog lights for what they are intended for – when it’s foggy!
