I can see where the journo is coming from. Even if there is a max. speed limit that triggers a warning message, the car is obviously stationary in the photo, so why didn't the message disappear when the car fell below the speed parameter?Leon said:The journo didn't mention the speed that they were traveling at on the M25. Might have been useful in his conclusion?
Have you tried putting the rear fogs on whilst the car is stationary on a clear day? Does it display turn off rear fog light? The photo is for illustration purposes not conclusive evidence. If he had put the speed he was traveling at (say 20mph) and the warning came on, I might give it more credence. That was my point.Golfmk56 said:I can see where the journo is coming from.

Not a good idea to slap the brakes on to take picture whilst on the M25!! :lol:Tell said:Mind you if they are on for a minute, slapped the brakes on and took the picture. Think they were short of something to say.
Yeah and you have been doing at least 40 MPH in those road conditions with visibility at 50 metres in patches... he does look like a boyracer thou.Visibility was down to 50 metres and the electronic information boards on the M25 were showing 'FOG, SLOW DOWN'. These were exactly the type of conditions foglights are designed for.
My caseTell said:Entirely stupid driving in fog at 40 MPH. If you can safely go at that speed you don't need your fog lights on. Rear fog lights are for pea soupers where the tail lights disappear. If you can see the tail lights you don't need the fogs on.
The journalists would have been better pointing out the safety features of it forcing drivers to be sensible in the use. When fogs are on you can't see the brake lights so you end up shunting the person.... although may be or not the other feature may stop you
