Can't use rear fogs without looking a knob

Talk about the 406's electrical system, what wires do what, how to add extra functionality, etc.

Probably better to leave them on - move right back buddy, I don't want you slamming into me if I have to stop suddenly!

Hmmmmm maybe. The problem is its just like sitting at a set of traffic lights when the fuckwit in front would rather sit with is foot on the brake pedal with is brake lights blazing in your face rather than pull on the handbrake.

I do understand if its a 406 in front because we all know what the handbrake is like :lol:

My estate's got that lovely high level brake light too :cheesy: I often have to wait at the railway line down the road, there's a bit of a ramp both sides which puts headlights of the car opposite right in your face, I turn mine to sidelights but none of these ignorant morons ever thinks about it. I also have to wait for my other half after work, she works in the school and while I'm waiting I very often get some stupid tart come to pick up her brats in her 4x4 shopping cart pull right in front of me so her lights are illuminating the inside of my car.

I theory is the back ones should come on first, then the front ones. So that way to have the front ones on, you have to have the rear's on.

This would stop loads of the arses out there who just have their front on to make their 1.1 saxo go quicker.

Also, the front's on first rule means if I want to piss someone off who's behing me and got their front's on, I have to have mine to give them my rear's.


Also, TooT, drive more than 2 car lengths away from people, maybe that's why they've got their fogs on. :)

No that would just mean that all those tw@s would drive 'round with their rear fogs on too :roll:

I really hate this and I allways make a point of holding my hand up in front of my eyes in a "you are f*cking blinding me you idiot" kinda way but they (I mean normally women) don't get it :roll:

I allways identify where I may be affecting others (brake lights included) and adjust my behavior straight away to be considerate.

Well, it was REALLY foggy this morning and on this occasion it's the tw@ts who DIDN'T have their fog lights on that pissed me off. The amount of people driving without fog lights on in for was about - and this is no exaggeration - 90%. And some people didn't bother having ANY lights on at all (or maybe just the sidelight on the right hand side as the left one is blown)! Morons....

Considering all of the above that has been said, I think front lights should come on at the same time as the back ones. There shouldn't be a separate switch for both.
