Roll on 12th October

[maca]

Does anyone know what the penalty is if the Police care enough to fine you?

Mind you, the undercover Aurion that pulled me over the other night had their fog lights on....

12th October is nearly here and it will then be illegal (in QLD at least) for all wank..ers to drive with their fog lights on (day or night) when there is no fog.

Now, if only we could convince truck drivers that it is not illegal to use the left hand lane of a dual lane carriageway.

why fit them on the car then

never ever been blinded by fogs, they are usually aimed a lot lower than headlights...

thank god mine are integrated - they are just drls officer

$110 in vic i think... same thing, when i got told to turn them off and threatened with a fine was at a random breath test, the cop car on the side of the road had them on.

I totally agree about the rear one. Those fog lights are dangerous; I always change lanes if I'm behind on of those idiots. Messes with your depth perception.

But unless you're talking about those yellow fog lights or high mounted ones on 4WDs and such, I can't say the standard low front bar fog lights found on most new cars these days are a hazzard. If anything, since they're pointed so low to the ground, it's great for seeing a car in the distance without getting blinded.

I'd much rather see the Police give out fines for cars with misaligned low beams.

Focusing on the actual problem! Now there's a novel thought. Not going to happen any time soon though when there's dollars to be made.

On a side note I've spotted 2 marked police Aurions and a silver unmarked Aurion this weekend with their extremely won't someone think of the children dangerous and hazardous fog/driving lights on. Oh the humanity.
