Poll: Is it illegal to have fog lights on when there's no fog?
The answer is yes, it is illegal. And yet in New Zealand it's fairly common to see drivers hitting the road with their fog lights on when it's simply dark.
Those who have sat their written drivers test recently will be in the know, but be honest, did you know it was illegal?
-
59.7% Yes, I know it's illegal
-
39.1% No, I didn't know that
-
1.2% Other - I'll share below
