    What is the deal with people driving around with their fog lights on?

    I reckon there is 5-8% of people doing this.

    It's spread across both genders and all age groups.

    Do they realise or do it deliberately?

    ********Just read charter, did not realise that this was a banned topic.************

    I reckon 90% of people don't even realise they're on.

    The other 10% don't care that they're dazzling other drivers, and think that they improve their own visibility so they're perfectly entitled, what's the problem :confused:

    Drives me nuts (pardon the pun).

    Same drivers who don't know how or bother to use indicators.

    Met a car on the motorway to Carlow the other day with a working right headlight and working left fog light. No doubt they assumed that it was a fine set up lol.

    If your dazzle by front fogs that are properly aligned then you need to get eyes tested.

    Rear fog is different as it design to illuminate in other drivers eyes like brake lights

    Is it OK to drive with front fogs on? Surprises me how many people drive with rear fog lights when visibility is fine

    What do you think an eye test will acheive? (I know, I know, taboo subject...but that crap needs challenging)
