Blurred Ad Lands Hyundai in Hot Water

Advertising Standards Authority doesn't like fast cars

Agree about the naff slogan, but this seems ridiculous, as speed of disappearance equals acceleration, and good acceleration makes for safer overtaking. At the same time, has anyone complained about that stupid Clio va va voom, as it encourages people to drive about on clear nights with their front foglights on, dazzling all oncoming drivers??

Ahh.. you want to get onto DADRL or whatever they're called. They successfully got Top Gear to stop that practice.

Agree on the Clio front. How many muppets do i see every night with their bloody front fog lights on? Let me count them. The best ones are the prats in their Nova's and R5's with sidelights and foglights on... cos it's soooo "cool" man.

I reckon they should make it illegal to fit front foglights to hatches and BMW 3 series - as they're the cars invariably driven by the ****ers who drive round with their foglights on when there's no bloody fog - really pisses me off!!!!
