Just wondering, do you drive around with your foggies on / off ?
I prefer to have them on all the time.

It has always puzzled me, as to why some do and some don't. I prefer the look of them being on.

Only legal during periods of fog, otherwise it's a fine for those trend setters who think they look cool. Just ask any early Suzuki GTI owner what the coppers think of them!

Learn a new thing everyday (even from someone like you

)
So what would constitute 'fog', and are the police now extensively trained in meteorology

I haven't even been questioned by the police regarding the foggies, even when pulling over for the booze bus which seems to be the only time I ever deal with them.

$75 fine in NSW.
I don't bother having them on,they don't actually do much,havn't had a chance to try them in fog.
