Roll on 12th October

[vanDub]

12th October is nearly here and it will then be illegal (in QLD at least) for all wank..ers to drive with their fog lights on (day or night) when there is no fog.

Now, if only we could convince truck drivers that it is not illegal to use the left hand lane of a dual lane carriageway.

I thought it was illegal anyway, before the twelfth?

I thought that rule was already the case but the cops didn't care that much?

EDIT: haha you beat me to it!

Funny enough the other day I saw a Aurion Police car with his foggies on.

On a European car, fog lights don't cause any dramas to other road users.

If they're illegal, they should stop making them available on cars sold in Australia. It's simple.

I'm not going to fuel another Fog Light debate. But I suspect that the cops will continue to not care given they drive their Aurions, Commodores and Falcons with their foggies on all the time. Not to mention I've seen their Jetta, X-Trail and Maxima with them all on while having pulled someone over.

EDIT: mrpayne; you beat me to it

It's illegal over here too, but the cops never seem to care. They're rather go after the HOONS.

x2. I'd rather they put their effort into stopping dangerous driving instead of pulling me over because I have a few extra lights on.

and the point of owning fog lights in a car in qld is? ...................hmm now if i could only get my hands on a cup body kit for the pog , and give myself a damn good reason to remove them.

and the point of owning fog lights in a car in qld is?

1) Wank factor
2) To allow many of the idiots on the road to realise you are driving (you can't help but notice an Audi A4/5 with DRL's) for added driver safety.
3) Every now and then we get fog or more often heavy rain.

Rear fogs are the most annoying ones for me. I swear that some Hyundies and Subaru owners just press the light switch on the dash thinking that they have front foglights...
Holden need to be rolled for there front fogs on the Dunnydores.
