I want new fog lights - patently
Not just any old fog lights though - I want the special ones that are *SO* bright that they somehow make it safe to drive at 80+mph in torrential rain and an inch of standing water.

Just like the RAV4 that went past me on the A40 last night, in fact.

What's best is that (apparently) if you switch on the special "I can drive however I want" fog lights at the same time as your "I can park anywhere" hazard lights, it becomes safe to use a handheld mobile phone while driving!

LOL
fantastic, where do you buy them?
i always see the special foglights switched on but the main beam on dipped, is this the secret of how to drive like a freak?

i think they have an outboard on, with a fibreglass hull.

I dunno, on the M40 this morning I had every light I'd got turned on and would have turned more on if I'd had them.

Unlike the Rover which went past me at some speed with no lights on at all.

A 4x4 with fog lights on?

Burn him! Burn him I say! Heretic! Heretic!

Glove box light? Vanity mirror light?

Where's that (waterproof today) communal coat?

Not this morning, Mark, last night.

This morning it was fine mist & spray with bright sunshine. Arguable either way whether to light up. Last night it was torrential rain in the dark - visibility was in fact quite good because there was no fine mist and no sunshine to diffract. Road surface was nice and glassy - perfect for reflecting any bright red lights that happended to pass....

Am more concerned about large heavy vehicles aquaplaning their way past me than the lighting issues, though...

Dunno where you were, but where I was the M40 was torrential rain, massive amounts of spray from a huge number of trucks and a lot of damn wind.

and a lot of damn wind.


Take a Rennie ;o)

4 to 9.

No wind, particularly. Rain medium to heavy, overcast but bright sky. Much spray. Not fun.

I was doing 9 - 13, but obviously on a different planet.

Sounds as if someone has got a downer on trucks, methinks.

Well "me" has got the wrong end of the stick. There was just lots of them and they kick up spray.

You need a new car, Patently. Preferably an X3 or X5...

an X3 or X5...


Might be tempted if they had those little blue lights as well....
I want new fog lights - Mapmaker
You can buy them off eBay. Or better still, buy a car with them pre-fitted...

Best go for an X3 then. I guess its the more reasonably priced one.

Provided it looks good, of course. And I'll need proper off-road ability.

I've decided that IF I grow up, I'm going to become a patent law specialist. You're spending more time on here than I am, and I'm a contractor/consultant with time to burn and the client's money in the bank!

Only in little snippets while other things are running ... at least that's what I tell my partners....

Not sure if/when I ever grew up.

Like me you have it sussed. A few spectacular jobs rest of the time work a four day week and reckon on 10 weeks hols this year. So when it pours I stay at home....don't need any lights at all then.

Not quite there yet, PU, but I'm working on it.

I remember fog so you could net see apart from cat's eyes. Nowadays there is no proper fog anymore. Is it global warming? Personally, I blame the Government.

Likewise. Even driving with head out of side window for better vision.

Allegedly, two drivers died doing this in opposite directions.
