This thread is not for those who don't notice or do not care

This thread is to tell the world about those that drive with their rear fog lights on for no good reason (no fog or smoke and their other rear lights were working, so cant even use that as an excuse):

This morning:

Silver Audi A3 - VMV 574 GP

Charcoal Peugeot 308cc - REEE GP


Wednesday night, the 23rd of July:

White Audi A4 - CY63FT GP - it had these super bright LED ones, was a struggle to even read the number plate due to them

Grey BMW 550i - DYV 099 FS

White BMW - ZGX 143 GP

Oh yes, I see plenty of them in PE! These type of threads make me want to buy a dashcam and record all the crazy stuff I see on a daily basis :D

It's worth noting that most of the cars I see here driving with their rear fogs on are 'affluent' looking cars such as MB's, BMW's, Audi's, etc. but this could be because more expensive cars have these features as opposed to more entry level cars? I for one know my car has rear fogs but I have never ever even used them.

What also grates my cheese is drivers that drive with their park lights and fog lights on, but no main headlamp. It pisses me off to no extent
 
Supersunbird, we should join the Metro. We'd make a killing off fining these a-twits.
We have a couple of twits in 4x4s that drive with their spotlights on. A few on the roof and a few in front of the grill.
 
Nothing more irritating! I have had a look at many of the drivers who do this and tbh I don't think they know how to turn them off or that they even have fog lights. They probably saw the switch in the car one day and decided to turn it on. When they didn't see anything happening, they just left it on

Affluent cars AND Figos and Chery QQs

As to regard to front fogs and park lights, at least they have something on! Thankful for that, and not as problematic as rear fogs.
 
DITTO-WP. White Mercedes C class.

This chop drives with the rear fogs on all the time - They're LED, so they're supper bright too. If I could, I'd smash the rear light cluster.
 
Why do you care so much? Makes absolutely no difference to my life whatsoever if some idiot wants to drive with their fog lights on in the middle of a clear day. I really have far more important things to worry about.

It's really bad in Gautengaleng. The fogs are also rather blinding. I make a habit of showing them my brights when they blind me when travelling over the speed humps.

Can't say I've ever noticed it driving at night. I'm not sure I could even tell if the fog lights were on at night. The only thing I care about at night is when some idiot is driving with his brights on behind me, or in an oncoming car.

Because some of them are really blinding and if you have to drive behind them for over half an hour at night...

And you say you don't worry? You will worry when you drive into the back of them because it can greatly reduce the visibility of their brake lights, so you have to pay close attention to their brake lights, in spite of the bright red glare they have emitting from their car close to the brake lights..

It is rather odd that people get upset over things that blind them to whats going on in the road. I mean you shouldnt need to see anything other than the next message on your phone
 
guess it's still better than the idiot corolla in front of me this morning - with no single working light at the back. No brake light, nothing.
