It never ceases to amaze me as to how stupid some people can be!!

You've probably guessed as to what I'm refering........... Only having side-lights on in foggy conditions, or worse still not having ANY lights on in fog!!!

 

What do these morons think they are achiving? Saving a few extra BHP so that they can go faster?

NO, what they are achiving is making it a dangerous situation for oncoming traffic (and themselves)

 

Come to think of it, why does anyone drive with only side-lights on anyway? I mean, whats the point. Especially as most side-lights are totally useless in the first place.

And how much effort does it take to turn, or flick, the switch that one extra click to put them on dipped beam?

 

They are not there for THEIR benifit, they are there for others, so that they have a warning that there is oncoming traffic (yes I realise that oncoming traffic should be driving to the conditions anyway, but that doesn't mean that they always do!)

 

Sorry for ranting, it just p155es me off that these morons actually have driving licenses, as they don't have the brains to think with!

 

Rant over :D

main beam in fog can cause a drivers range of view to be severly decreased, thats why people do it

Totally agree, whats just as bad are the chav :xxx: that drive at night with side lights, no dipped beam just front fogs instead, nice one :rolleyes:

I'm talking about daylight, I can't see a problem with useing dipped beam, as it isn't for the benifit of seeing where you're going, it's there for the benifit of those approaching you to see where you are.

If you travell about with full beam on then I can see a point reflection back to you, but dipped beam does not caurse this problem due to the angles involved.

I blame driving test bud, when I was doing my lessons (7 years ago) lights were not covered at all in any of my lessons or driving test,

I totally agree. People should drive with dipped headlights on in fog. What upsets me even more than the whole sidelights issue though is complete idiots who insist on driving around with their main beams on in the fog at night because they don't have any proper front foglights and don't even bother to switch to dipped when they approach you because they think the fog will stop you getting dazzled. Grr.
