Front fog lights at night with 0% fog, why...just why.


May as well put your brights on.

The front fogs I can live with as they don't shine in your eyes much.

The rear fogs are just retarded.

What I don't get is fogs ONLY, because you have to do that on purpose.
 
People driving with only fog lights on. Those who drive with dipped beam and fogs in perfectly clear weather are also knobs but not as bad as the ones that ONLY drive with fogs on.

People who overtake 150m before an off-ramp just to get one car length closer and chip in in front of the person in front of them. Is that 4m you gained really worth the extra fuel expended and the inevitable torture of your brakes when you realise you anyways need to slow down for the offramp?

People who overtake on blind rises where there is a double line on the road. This seems common practice in the Eastern Cape. No wonder our road fatality stats are so poor. Sies vir jou!

Getting to the front of a queue at Home Affairs or the traffic department only for them to tell you their photocopier or scanner or systems are down.

People who snort and sniff in public. Go blow your nose like a normal human being!

The inevitable itch you develop when your hands are full of grease, oil or dirt.

People who stop in the middle of a busy road to drop off a passenger or to talk to a pedestrian. Your hazard lights don't absolve you from your stupid move, you knobjockey!

What car let's you put on fogs when the mains are off?

I've seen 9N3 Polo's do this but it's very likely that they are set to the parking light setting with fogs on and that the driver/owner has removed the parking light bulbs. On my i30 I can also turn on my fogs without igniting my dipped beam if the switch is set to parking lights

Sometimes it's worth it because the **** in front of you is driving in front of you at 80 in a 120 zone, and if you drive at the speed limit, you can pass them and make the green light, instead of reaching it just as it goes red, and have to wait 2 minutes for it to go over.

True that.

I should have mentioned in my original rant that this is when the people going 'slow' are at the speed limit and the feckers who overtake do so by exceeding the speed limit.

In a similar vein there is a portion of the N2 as you are entering PE where the right-hand lane going over the Samantha Way bridge is closed leaving only the left hand side open. Many a time I will be doing the speed limit in the left hand lane and some douche will come screaming past me at 140-150 only to slam on the brakes and dive in front of me at the last possible moment before the lane narrows.

Like will that really make you get to your destination appreciably faster than if you would have just adhered to the speed limit like me and suffered the following 200m of single-lane-ness at a legal speed?
 
When a "landscape technician" calmly and ignorantly rides over a red light - and no one worries about it. Heaven forbid me with a helmet, lights and a chain that does not squeak should try that...

Parents with toddlers. The little shtts always take over and parents allow them to kick up as big a racket as they want.

It's difficult to have a normal conversation with anyone, with them around.

In yester years parents had a saying: "Kids are seen but not heard". There was a damn good reason for that.

Agree with you on that.
Children who scream like they're being murdered alerts every human mother instinct in my body and mind, for absolutely no good reason as they're not actually being murdered.
