corktina

do you think the fog lights on the front of your car are spot lights?

do you realise that fog lights are for use in the fog?

Hmm, I suspect that this has been done to death (many times) in the motoring forum.

Depending on the car, they may or may not be 'Fog lights', take the Nissan Micra for example, the 'fogs' on the front of that little thing are a total curse, and a real hazzard to oncoming traffic!

Driving with my four big lights on makes me feel like I'm in Convoy. And in possession of a gargantuan cock.

Good fog puns are 1% inspiration and 99% precipitation.

F*ck Nissan Micras, their oversized fog lights and the idiot Micra drivers who always have them on.

Here everybody needs to lay off the micra drivers!
Everyone around here blames them for everything.

I own a micra and I do not drive with fog lights on when there's no fog, and I do not drive like a granny!

One thing almost as bad as Nissan Micra drivers is truck drivers driving along with so many lights on their cabs that you can see the fuckers from space.

I flashed one the other day because I thought he had his full lights on. Big mistake. He flashed his lights in return & I still have black spots on my eyes from where he burned my corneas.

2 lights is enough you fucktards!!!

Star thanks for that, still laughing. :pac:
I love when you meet them at night, lit up like a christmas tree.

With an engine size of 1198cc, a 0-60mph of over 13 seconds & a top speed of just over 100mph, it's impossible not to drive a Nissan Micra like a granny.

They are the ultimate Granny Mobiles.

Fogging fog lights and nothing else at night grinds my gears

I got my first speeding ticket last week I'll have you know!
I was going a whole 63 kmph!

It's impossible not to in a micra. You never overtake anyone, do you?

Oh my god!!!
Yes, of course I do!
I also drive way over the speed limit most of the time - I can't handle slow drivers, they drive me insane.
And yes I know 'speed kills' and all that, but I just cannot handle driving slow.
Anyway, I drive on motorways most of the time.

I usually see 1 out of every 10 cars with front fogs on and think the driver is an idiot. Last night I drove from Ennis to Kildare and it was 1 out of every 10 with the fronts fogs off or who switched full beams off.

Seriously the majority of drivers around Limerick haven't a ****ing clue how to use their lights. I gave up flashing them after a short while. It worked at first, they would turn off the full beams but soon they basically just started to turn them off and put them on 1 second later blinding me again. It was like the think I was warning them of a speed van or something. I just laughed and am glad I don't have to go back there again


Also you mention you don't drive like a granny or use fogs but do you turn the micra like it's towing a 40ft trailer?

No, that's your clutch.

Yakult

All the taxi's in my town (all driving Pug 406's) have their fog lights on 24/7. They are worse than full beams, yet nothing is said to them?
But when I was driving a modified car years ago I had my fog lights one evening and I got pulled over by the cops and warned about them, go figure...
Some day they will all wake up to see their fog lights smashed.

Um I don't know what you mean by that.

Its a strange phenomon alright, you see it a lot in 3rd world countries where people try to bling-up their image by driving with their front fog lights on 'to give the impression of being cool' I guess? or maybe out of sheer ignorance? :cool:

The really annoying thing is that you can't dip front fogs like you can dipped beams, hence the fogs always beam out straight ahead, and if you have a passenger in the back then the fogs lift up to dazzle oncoming traffic! Car lights (the use of) sould be part of driving lessons and the driving test itself.

That explains it, - you're the woman who passes my work twice a day doing 80 kmph in first gear in a Micra. :eek::D

You have obviously never driven a 20 ton HGV. What do you expect them to use a couple of candles.

Well I'm a 26 year old who still gets id'ed all the time.
Most people think I'm 18 at absolute most.

So in answer to your question - yes, yes I do.

I think people could start using the term fog lights as a euphemism for breasts, as follows:

"Lovely set of fog lights on yer wan there eh?"

You think silly.

Wertz

I've seen an RSA approved driving instructor driving around my area with fogs on.
I've heard friends say that they use them to look out for potholes (not a bad excuse to be fair, still no excuse for blinding oncomers though).

The one thing that gets me about idiots using them at night are the f*cktards that have their side lights on and their fogs...but NOT their dipped heads! For jesus sake they don't even light the road up further than 5 metres in front of the car.
