What to do about foglights?

TomF · 2003-08-16 04:35:05

With the days growing shorter, I begin my annual dread of the dark season of driving when I have to face into dazzling foglights on the roads. I find it is very difficult to see my own side of the road when some driver coming from the opposite direction has those *%#!^ foglights on in addition to his headlamps. Is it legal…

Hmm, foglights... the pet hate of one and all!! But to be honest for the 4 yrs I owned my beemer I always drove at night with my front fogs on... why? Well anyone whose driven a pre 92 BMW ( the boxy kind) will be aware of the absolutely dire dipped headlights, absolutely useless, however with the FF's on, the road edges were lit up far more clearly than dips alone & made night driving that much eaier for me! What does pi$$ me off about FFs on car is poor adjustment, too many cars have them pointing upwards!? On my Beemer the FF's pointed down and only effectively lit about 1.5 car lengths of the road ahead of me. Rear fogs annoy the **** out me though especially when you can even make out the glow from the tell-tale light in the cabin!

Incidently, I've noticed that FF's tend to be called driving lights on a number of cars!
