Ever been to wales - the lakes - scotland?
Very often get rain with less than 100m visability.
Although I do agree too many people use fog's when it isn't needed

Badly adjusted fogs blind in any conditions Correctly adjusted fogs have a liniar cut off so the light doesn't shine upwards....
TBH i learnt something from Josh's post it used to be that you could only use your Rear Fog light/s in FOG now by the looks of the new HWC you can use them in any bad weather (when visibility is seriously reduced)

:yeahthat:
they reflect up off the water
rears on in rain is worse, kills the eyes of them behind and makes it harder to see your brake lights
so do headlamps especially HID, and any other lights
I assume the more modern car designs with a totally separate and low rear fog light to reduce that but it used to be a No no to use your rear fog in rain anyhow
My pet hate is those that Stand on the brakes when at a junction rather than pulling the handbrake on especially with the high level brake light been right at eye level :bang:

rest of us can see fine in heavy rain with out fogs, if you cant then buy new wipers and stop blinding the rest of us
Speak for yourself, my wiper blades are fine ta
Indeed - they are FOG LIGHTS.
Turn the damn things off unless it's foggy.
Rears you can use in any poor visibility/heavy spray - it is illegal and very dangerous to use fronts in the same conditions.
If you use yours in rain, think yourself lucky the camera's patrol the roads these days and not the Police - cos they're too busy doing paperwork
What a load of crap.
So you don't do what your suppost to and read updated highway code when it comes out and your trying to give driving advise
How the feck do they do that? They don't do it any more than dipped beam lamps
Rear on in rain are needed when very heavy spray, just when tits forget to turn them off (driving without due care and attention!)
:yeahthat:
New Mini brakelights are the worst!
Yes, i just had that on the way home from Karting, 0 visibility and every tom dick and harry with fogs on, so 0 visibilty and just a red light windscreen. :bang:

I'm on my 3 can of Carling and I'm ok so far.
Although last Sat night, I had 4 bottles of Bud and 2 hours of crying really made me drunk lol.
That and air makes you more drunk for some reason. No wonder pubs are losing out with the smoking ban, everyone goes outside, gets hit by the wind and goes home cos they feel drunk as!

you named the fingers on your love hand?
just to add to the rain foglights, it's not neccessarily the heavy rain, remember when i had Really heavy rain, couldn't see out the windscreen as wipers weren't going fast enough luckily it was only temporary, but it was still quite a bright day so visibility was still good.
but one other time coming back from uni on the motorway it was very dark despite being lunchtime, and the rain reduced visibility almost completely to comparable thick fog conditions, wasn't spray off other cars either. all i could see was dull glow of the car in fronts fog light, and occasionally the lights from the car behind!!! driving in those conditions without fog lights would of been VERY dangerous, but as soon as the motorway came down the hill and cleared a bit, the fogs went straight off.

It's not made me grumpy, more upset but I had to have my dog put to sleep today. He was 15 though so had a good innings.
