Foglights: the dark side of the hoon

It seems there's a incomprehensible side to the use of foglights on cars. Reader Darin complained last week about drivers impetuously switching them on.

He wrote: "These morons obviously have no idea what these lights are honestly for. They are especially annoying, either head on or in the rear view representation, and when the road is wet, the reflection is blinding. Even more concerning is driving with the foglights on and the power supply headlights on park. Muppets!"

Here are some of the many replies we received this week:

Angus: "I approve with Darin. In the UK it is a driving offence to use them unless visibility is reduced to less than 100 yards (90 metres). But my doubt is: what do the New Zealand road contractors coat the roads with that makes them so ruminating in the rain? There are many locations in Auckland, for example, where it is impossible to see means markings in the rain at night, not to mention the dazzling result of car headlights and streetlights. It's a significant safety hazard. I have not driven in another territory that has such shiny roads. What's the story?"
