    My car has fog lights.... i don't use them though EXCEPT for flashing other people with their fog lamps on coming towards me. Sometimes they get the message and turn them off. Other times you feel like ramming into them!!!! Ignorant sods!!!!!!!!!!

    Drives me mad too!

    But father I have sinned.....

    One time I remember blaspheming about other drivers ineptness over said fog lights only to find out when I got home that I had been one of them.

    Not on purpose of course.

    I reckon I knocked the switch with my right knee when trying to find something that fell under my seat. When sitting normally you can't see the LED on the switch because the steering wheel is in the way.

    So really...its not my fault at all...its a design flaw with the Ford Escort.

    dont....DONT get me started on the fog light issue.

    It should involve a highvoltage current up your @rse in the drivers seat, so you have to SERIOUSLY DECIDE how vital they are to your safety....

    I HATE THEM

    Doesn't really bother me at all (and I sit a lot lower down than most).

    Incorrectly aligned headlights are more annoying (but not as bad as middle lane hoggers)

    I use fogs... but well... there sooo small they barely class themselves as fogs.

    I NEVER use fogs in the day.. like sum do.

    Oh..Xenon headlights are the worst...they shine blue, purple, white, green and lother weird colours... VERY offputting in the rear mirror.

    er, why not use them in the day instead, so they don't blind us in the dark - hence the commments... better still, use them in the fog!!!

    Hmm, i've noticed them too. Seems to be a lot of peopel with them on when they don't need them, then when it gets foggy, non of them use them!

    Most of the cars are normally BMW/Audi/Mercedes, strange that!
