In years gone by now many people had additional spotlights on their cars unfocused and in excess wattage of the main beam (100 watt or more). As it would never be my intention to leave main beam on either behind or facing oncoming cars I cannot see an issue, given that, you can leave fog lights on when in poor weather (fog) when behind or facing on coming cars as they are a focused and directed beam I cannot see an issue at all.
Modern LED lights, particularly on the T6 dazzle far far more than any fog lights.Fog lights are legally only allowed to be use in poor weather conditions, nowt in the regs about darkness being poor weather
Have to admit @DaveBos that is an excellent point, well made. All I can go off is having been pulled over and reprimanded at the age of 22 as I had left my front fog lights on and PC Plod took offence. The irony is that unlike a lot of young lads in their Saxo’s (as it was at the time), mine was a genuine error as I had been driving for 4 hours and the fog had been as thick as soup going from the M5 through the countryside around Glastonbury/ Yeovil to visit Mrs DaveyB before she was Mrs DaveyB. Only the fog had cleared as I came into Weymouth, so I was pulled over.
