Foggy

Well now, I must be losing something in the translation, so let me get this right. It's foggy so as I am driving along other car users have their fog lamps on, seems reasonable, fog, fog lamps, fog, fog lamps Ok I think I have it.


So why is it that on any given night there are any number of idiots driving around with fog lamps all lit up and there is no fog...doh.

The problem yet again is that the driving standards are poor; they obviously are blind to the fact that fog lights are high intensity lights designed to cut through dense fog and allow other road users to see you, thus avoiding accidents and when used in the correct context they perform there function well.

However, when used outside of being a foggy night they blind oncoming drivers, with high beams, creating yet another hazard on the roads.

Pity these people get a driving licence so easily, one day they might have to read the road code, nah that as the potential of making NZ a safer place, so that's not going to happen.
