Don't know why it makes me so irrationally angry as I'm usually pretty chilled but the whole fog lights thing makes me want to kill!
Ok, so usually I just resort to full-beaming them for a few miles instead of actual murder but one of these days...
It just makes me think that if you're so unobservant you leave your fogs on should you really be trusted to propel 100Kg of metal at 70mph!
Coincidentally, I was having a conversation with a colleague just this morning about 5/10 year re-tests for everybody. Maybe when I'm PM...
Cheers,
James

My previous car was a Toyota Carina - you pressed a button to turn the fog lights on. When the ingnition was turned off the lights were cancelled so
they weren't on again the next time you started.
Why can't other manufacturers do the same? (electrically a very simple thing to arrange).

Hi David, there are a few cars out there that do that, I had a Mk4 Escort and an Orion that did it, also my Xantia does too.

not pulling over into a clear lane.
undertaking - yes it is illegal and yes i do it, but here's my defence.
the highway code says you should drive on the left and opvertake on the right. If everyone obeyed this rule you should be able to drive on the left
until you reach a vehicle to overtake! If a vehicle hasn't pulled in then it is them at fault for not having done so. Not had a chance to test
this theory out with a traffic cop (read not been pulled over yet  )
