Fog lights cant be used at night ? thats ridiculous, even if there was some fog around in daylight, you wouldnt need lights to see under it, maybe as a warning to other drivers but thats about all and you would use your parklights for that.

NOT your full headlight. The fine is $150 and 3 points and there is a similar code for a slightly different wording which is $100 and 1 point.

BOV is illegal, it must vent back into the engine, not into the atmosphere, simple.

Any questions??!!

EDIT "And not to be used in hours of darkness. (Figure that one out)"

I understand the rules in regards to the fog lamps, but one thing I always did wonder, if you had them on as well as your headllights, say out on a quite road where no one was around, then, when a car was coming, you switched them off at a fair distance(as you would highbeam) would you get pinged?

I would say yes because unless the weather calls for there use you are still using fog lights contrary to the law

Thats what I thought. I don't use them myself, but the whole debate did make me wonder about it.
