In fog the whole point of foglights is to avoid being blinded by the glare from your own headlights reflected back from the fog, so yes, in foggy conditions, sidelights and fogs is the best way of seeing where you are going
Eh? Why isn't the light from the fog lights reflected back at you then? Isn't it just light, same as from the dipped beam? Why does one reflect and not the other? I thought fog lights were just extra bright lights to help others see you coming sooner, because dipped beams are directed away from other traffic for normal conditions and are therefore less visible in fog to other road users.Fog lights provide a low-mounted light source to illuminate the road surface in front of your car. By illuminating the road surface in a low, wide fan in front of your car, the light doesn't shine directly at the precipitation -- rain, mist droplets or snowflakes -- in front of your car and reflect back into your eyes.

The above should be taught in driving lessons and tested on the test so we don't have to endure so many fog-light-w

Only 2 things annoy me: Pride in one's country and religion.
Never understood why individuals are automatically biased to one camp just because it's something their country has done/produced. While it's easy to point the finger and say "Oh the Americans and French are the culprits for this"; the English are far, far worse. The image of this country is that of the beer-gutted yob on benefits (or a paedophile). That's nothing to be proud of. We also have a higher percentage of dheads per 100 people than anywhere else.
As a species we're evolved enough and intelligent enough to know that there are no true fairy tales, so why people insist on pressing on others that there is some all-powerful being(s) looking over them, is beyond me. You make your own path in life or you go nowhere. And you die alone and then rot with no second chances, what's hard to understand about that?
Why do they annoy me? Because they're not things that anyone can simply ignore, there's always a tt wherever you are pressing their misguided idiocy upon others, or shouting about it in public places.

I think if you used them in your test it would be deemed as a fail; something along the lines of innapropriate use of vehicle lighting.

I'm clearly not saying USE them in the test. I'm saying teach the Corsa boys etc what they are for and how they fYou are also up against this: "but ferg lights look cool bruv, make da car look more agressive innit"

We are tribal animals. Tribalism exhibits itself in many different ways - politics, nationalism, religion, football teams, even car fanbois (just look at PH). But I would agree that tribal allegiances can be very annoying.Never understood why individuals are automatically biased to one camp just because it's something their country has done/produced.

There are equally as many t

Opening a work email and seeing phrases like "itch scratching session" and "Italian flag technique"....
thought I knew most of these inane phrases, but Italian Flag Technique is a new one. Care to explain?How about writing in English then so we can all understand then?
