Yes.

They should only be used on certain types of road (plus other
conditions), not for example in towns etc. Therefore you don't
need them
when the engine is off!

Is there actually any prohibition from using them on certain
types of
road. I though the only rule was the obvious one of "turn off
rear fog
lights when the following car is so close that it will be dazzled by
them"?


Oh dear....

Rather than tutting, perhaps you'd like to point me to the exact
regulations. OK, so I omitted to say "only use them when it's foggy",
because I thought that was blindingly obvious, though many people
seem to
use them even when it's completely clear (not even light mist).

Is there something in the highway code about classes of road or its
speed
limit which regulates when they may or may not be used, despite
thick fog,
subject always to the "don't dazzle" rule.



Perhaps you should stop digging.


Did my similar question* yesterday not reach you or do you argue that
it's similarly not deserving of a substantive reply?

*"Why not in towns?Â* I can't see anything in the Regulations or HC
that distinguishes them from any other location."



How would you know it was a town and not a large village?


Villages have idiots

Are they the ones driving around with their fog lights on when there is
no fog?

I drive around 40 to 50 thousand miles a year and have done so for the
last 20 years.


How many times do you think in that time I have needed to use my fog
lights to meet the required 100m visibility guide line?
