In the US I don't think they have the parker lights that we have. Essentially we could just consider those DRLs? Mine are on all the time so they turn on and off with the car anyway
They don't have parkers on the front the same as us, their parkers what our indicators are from memory.. Parkers generally don't have the intensity of other DRLS to function well to be honest..
Yeah good point, headlights are more than bright enough if you're worried about visibility though

I know Brian (Brainy) drives with his foglights on 24/7 and he says he hasn't been pulled up for it, which is surprising considering he has 6000k HID's in there.
Haha good on him! I drive around with mine on most the time, but if I'm on a main road where there's likely to be a RBT or something I switch them off, just in case
Hehe, it felt weird having to flick the switch back on after kieran drove my car.
I saw Dutch the other morning leaving in E.H but I don't think he noticed me.
As for my fogs and 24/7 -
1. They are 8000k
2. I don't use them 24/7 but whenever the parkers or headlights are on, so are the fogs. It helps with visibility and not once have I been high beamed by oncoming traffic. I've tested the oncoming traffic thing and from what we could tell it didn't dazzle the driver. If someone ever flashed me then I would definitely oblige and turn them off.
To be honest, I don't even think about them being on and no comments have been made going through booze buses even.
Next time you are out driving during the time lights are required, check out the Cop cars than have foggies and see if they run with them on.
I will say this, I had been pulled up once many years ago but that was because I had yellow fogs on. No fine, but I did have to provide proof that they were wired to a switch.
