I got told the other day that if i drive round with my front fog lights on a night when there isnt any fog i could pick up 3points

my mum got stopped the other week for havin them on, she just got a tellin off

I think it depends on the situation really!! Say for example you are like 69 years old and driving your skoda and u have your fog ligts on, I dont think that they are going to screw you over that,. But then on the other side of things if you have a modified car and you are just doing it for the hell of it then yea maybe they are allowed to give you sum points off, who knows,

Found this on a site, this has come from a current serving Police Officer

Unfortunatly no information on the penalties, will look into it further

Hope this helps

A lot of front fogs are now sold as "driving lamps".

Even on my new corsa which came with them as standard, they were described as driving lamps, to be used in areas of poor visability, doesnt mention fog!

I use them on dark roads, such as country lanes etc to enable me to see any rabbits etc, so I dont run them over.

cheers asked policelady the otherday about it mmmmmmm waste of time told me that the weather was going to be clear nice to see my tax going to good use

if stated that the lights are driving lights you can argue and win quite easily.

if it does not state any where that they are driving lights and are fog lights then you are going to lose.

i hold my hand up though i always drive with them on if i have a car with them, i think it looks great to be hnest plus it does help.

Cheers gadget have to agree i drive with them on only cos it looks good.

It looks good yes, but when the road is wet, Headlights and fog lights are too bright as it reflects off the road aswell.

they have a very good purpose in that they light up speed cameras fantastically

my front fogs are crap anyway, just light the area to the side of the car. i got these new light thingy's fitted to me 182.

i got pulled fro having my fog lights on in my corsa sri down bromborough, basically said don't have them on unless visibilty reaches a certain distant. a whole riot van full to stop me fro fog lights. good use of the tax payers money

100 meters or less

Hope that helps.

3 points and a 30 pounds fine. Same as a reg plate with 'distorted' lettering.

i got one thing to say on fog lights... to all who use them when not needed!

IS IT ****ING FOGGY WHERE YOU ARE MATE!!!!!!!!!

mine where sold as driving lamps on my now old quiky

its bloody annoying and if someone is coming towards me with foglamps on then they get the full beam treatment from me!

it might help you not to crash but probably makes other people alot more likely to, THINK ABOUT IT

Im gonna stick up for the Focus drivers here, in my Focus, i have a switch for all my lights.
One click is sidelights,
two clicks is dipped beam.
Pull back is front fogs
Pull back twice is rear fog

now i have done this sooooo many times and ive seen people driving around in Foci's and i know its annoying but you know what they have done.

I turn my lights on yet pull back (you dont relise you do it!) and on goes your lights! So on comes my front/rear fogs.

Also people moaning at volvo drivers with lights on. This is because in sweeden or where ever they are made, the place is in no light what so ever for like most of the year, so it saves the driver time and the safety to have them on constantly. DRL's - Daytime Running Lamps. To be honest, im all for cars having DRL's, i usually drive around with mine on all the time! If people say they didnt see me i can argue i had my lights on to help my apperance on the road!

just my 2pence

i have my drivin lights on i dont carte lol!!!!!people comin other way havethere fogs on and they dont botherme 1 bit aslong as they nt the stupiodly masive 1s !!!!!

I HATE FOGLIGHTS!
Instead of putting fog lights on, get better mods if you think it looks good? P1SSES ME OFF! bcos I full beam the bas7ards and they full beam me back. AARRRGGGGHHHH.

You should get THREE POINTS. YOU should get a FINE. It is dazzling and can cause accidents....

they dont dazzle me so why should they dazzle other people. you should be looking at the road not peoples lights! IMO.

Depends on what car they are on. I had a X5 the otherday comming at me and that had all the lights on and i was blinded. But when its somthing lower its ok. Plus some cars have slightly tinted front windows as standard which also helps.

FOG LIGHTS = When its foggy.....

referring back to the volvo, the lights are on because its the law in sweden to have your lights on at all times

but who decideds if their car is low enough to blind other drvers.

vicky i agree, fog lights when its foggy!

my lights are deffo drivin lights so........no1 can tell me nethin!!!!!!!they on and thats thjat i dont get blkinded wen people with REAL fogs go the other way!!!!!!
