Default Fog lights

I seem to be on a rant today so answer me this.

WHAT IS IT WITH BLEEDING FOG LIGHTS NOWADAYS?

There appears that there are more and more schmucks driving around with their front fog lights on recently. And there are loads that think it's big & clever to have their side lights and fog lights on. What the is that all about?
Do they think it looks cool?
Are they all part of some twatfog club?
Are they all insane?

People with rear fogs on I've always just assumed they are a dumbarse, and/or left them on. But these ers seem to be doing it on purpose.

Look! It's illegal to have your fog lights on (front or rear) if it's not effing foggy.

Rant over.
for now

It pisses me off big time. If ever there was a worthy candidtate for utter blitzing by FP Ticket it's this stupid offence - together with the widespread continued hand held use of mobile phones.

Quite! They should be pulled onto the hard shoulder and subjected to electrodes applied to the genitals.

often a standard driving feature on early model bmw's who didn't get the HID's... makes them feel all sporty and rally like.. (except rally cars don't seem to drive at night anymore)

Its a Max power thing...

I blame them and charvas, if they are behind you slow down so they overtake then drive right up their ass with your full beams on, pisses them right off.

Yeah, I had an argument with a guy at work once, who told me they were "driving lights", I said er no they're fog lights !!!!

And on the subject of rally cars, that's why they brought the WRC forward to September, cos the little rally cars don't want to drive at night, poor little things!
