Fog lights when there is hardly any F***ing Fog!

[Lady Muck]

So this morning the visibility is reduced to about ,dear lord, about half a mile due to a dribbling of light fog.

Bring on the Fog light fkwits.

I would say more but I can't. These people could honestly bring on the death of my patience.

[Zp]

Yes, it's annoying.

But sleep easy in the fact that you're not a spacker like wot thems is.

Just relax and laugh at them as they drive past.

These people will never, ever be educated to the correct use of foggies.

[The Black Flash]

Relax - soon enough there will be lots of cars with DRLs in the fog light position, so you can have rage all year round

yes, well I think that's now added to the problem. I think more people are now having fogs on cos they see DRLs on, and think foggies on is ok too (or think they're the same).

[Lady Muck]

I really wanted to get out my car at a set of lights and go and knock on the window of the car in front to tell them to turn the fking things off. It was really uncomfortable to be behind them.

Don't get me started on DRL's.... You guys are not helping me calm down.

[grayze]

Drive behind them with your main beam on, they get the message after exactly 5 miles works every time.

[Pints]

I'm far more relaxed about the use of inappropriate foglight than what I was.

At least it serves as a warning that they're not to be trusted on the road, and I can give them extra room for when they do something stupid.

[Jasandjules]

Well, people are morons.

[vdubbin]

I'd prefer foglights to no lights any morning of the week!

You have it easy. Here in Dubai there are very few road standards. This morning was thick, thick fog. Half of the cars had no lights on at all, and most drive around with full beams on and hazard lights going. Makes the daily commute rather interesting.

[Dr Doofenshmirtz]

Drink driving and using your mobile whilst driving is now socially unacceptable.
Next on the list is surely people who use their rear fog lights when vehicles are already behind them
...Only then can we deal with the spactards who use front fog lights.

[Leptons]

Remarkably I have never been blinded by a front fog light. Are they so bad? Rear ones on the other hand...

[zcacogp]

Back in the day, we were allowed to make jokes about *oglights. 'Twas Towie's brainchild, I seem to remember.

All banned by Haymarket now, of course.

On the A26 there is a half mile+ long straight near Isfield, 05:30 this morning, light (and I mean light) mist, clown in front with fog lights on doing 45 mph. Does he dip his main beam after I've passed on said straight with no other car to be seen - does he f**k!

As with the OP, the temptation to wait at the next junction and have a word is almost overwhelming.

Well, drink driving is...

[Max M4X WW]

Worst one for me this morning was a Nissan Juke, 6x 55w lights up front!

[boobles]

Has the OP not considered that perhaps their journey may have started off really foggy like mine was this morning.
1 mile down the road & it was completely clear & I switched mine off. Perhaps they had just forgot?

Either way, just chill or confront them next time because you sound like you need to let of some steam!

[1954etype]

Bizarre behaviour really. THey think they are being safe but the reality is you stand a better chance of being rear ended in traffic as the brake lights don't stand out as much. I always turn mine off in traffic if I have someone behind me.

I think this is the case with a lot of them. What annoys me is when you're in thick fog, the traffic slows to 5mph, you're sat a few feet off their bumper and they still have their blinding rear fog lights on. You've got to be prepared to turn them off and on as things change.

This is annoying, but what's worse is people driving through thick fog with no lights on at all. White vans are the worst for this and the hardest to see.

Then you get the morons who think putting main beam on somehow helps them see better when in fact they are just turning the entire world white.
