Oh, so if it bothers you, then I'm the a-hole? It seems you are the one with a problem, or your car doesn't have them and you're jealous.

And how does me switching on my rear foglights make me incompetent? Seriously, I'm really eager to hear how you connect the two.

No, it makes the bothered person the a-hole :rolleyes:

You know it irritates people. You deliberately keep doing it. Of course you're the a-hole in this scenario. But have fun in your little world where pointing that out makes people jealous, hahaha

Either you put them on on purpose and know that they negatively affect (irritate the iris, not irritate the person) the other person and you're wilfully breaking the law, or you are incompetent and didn't know you put them on and you're unknowingly breaking the law, thus you're incompetent. It's not difficult.

BMW driver had his rears on, so I tailgated him with my brights on. He even flashed his hazards to warn me about my brights!!!. I just left them on, he eventually moved over. This was in Booysens road this morning around 05:15.

I used to call that the moron light, if you see that stay clear. They will do something moronic in due time.

163 Fog lamps

(6) No person shall operate on a public road, a motor vehicle while any fog lamp fitted to such vehicle is lit, except in conditions of poor visibility caused by snow, fog, mist, dust or smoke.

EDIT: They really need to incorporate learner licence type testing with driving license card renewal...

Huh, learn something new everyday. They are also no where near as bad as some of the newer model cars with the daytime running lights.

I will still switch it on, just for little snowflakes like you.

EDIT: learn what the word incompetent means, and how to use it properly.

DRLs? Have long are you reversing in front of someone driving with DRLs that it's an issue to your vision? That's the issue with rear fog lights...

incompetent
adjective
not having or showing the necessary skills to do something successfully

"Not having/showing the necessary skills to drive a motor vehicle in accordance with the road traffic regulations" seems like just fine...

I have never seen a car with blinding DRL's, not even one. Is there a specific car that you are referring to?

Yes, it was a Jeep as far as I can remember, quite a big one. I see people with fog lights on all the time, doesn't bother me at all, it is a soft light in any case.

EDIT: I didn't say they are blinding though - just they are much more distracting than fog lamps.
