What's with the fog lights?

Are you sure they are not running lights? I know on one of the trucks I've been driving it has running lights that are on all the time.

 

I don't have a problem with fog lights, per se, unless we're on a two-lane road and the road is wet. THEN it can be a real problem for oncoming traffic with the light reflecting off the wet road. I used to run into this problem often when I'd run all over eastern NC.

 

Ok, I got yeah. Just wanted to make sure, I don't know what's with that, I don't run em. Unless maybe its something the companys want you to do. I know when I went to driving school the first thing they wanted us to do was turn on our lights, so now I still fo that, habit I guess.

 

The two lights you are referring to are actually the same thing...only the names have changed to protect the innocent..."fog lights" are amber or yellow colored to help illuminate the "fog line" and are colored that way to give better reflection from the fog line, but they are actually determined "illegal" to be used as a constant on option. So they changed the name and color, now "driving lights" are not directly named in the laws, so drivers can use them all the time.

If you need that "additional" light to help you see:
1. Please learn how to adjust them so they aren't blinding the drivers going your opposite direction.
2. Or since your night vision is obviously limited...consider driving daylight hours!

 

Its a sign that an idiot who cant drive a car was given a CDL and a job by another idiot.

I can overlook the fog lights. My pet peeve is the idiot driver running on the top side of his tranny through a parkinglot. Whats up with that? Some bonehead driving a 60 mph truck comes flying through a truckstop parkinglot at 30 mph. Kill someone in a parkinglot and they should shoot the perp and throw his corpse into the pissbottle collection at the back of the lot...

...and bill the family for storage.

 

I've always considered them the same as training wheels on a bicycle. When you learn what you are doing you don't need them anymore.
