Cars over here are awful in my opinion. Ridiculous alloys, fog lights on, Big Exhausts, Second hand Expensive junk. What is wrong witha good Mondeo TDCI. The speed limit is only 110 on a motorway! Its probably just me.

I agree with some of it. Why they put fog lights on in the middle of the day when there's no fog I don't know... Yet they don't put normal lights on when it's raining?

Speed limit *only* 110k? Well that's 68miles an hour so only a couple of mph off the UK.

And that differs from the rest of the World, especially the UK, in what respect?

Australia's a big country (like the U.S.), you need big cars.

The UK is small, you need small cars.

At least in the U.K. you have rear fog lights as well so that you can blind people in both directions!!

EvannTel

You get rear fog lights here too?

Sherlock Holmes

Here to me is Oz....but yes, rear fog lights are obligatory in the UK

EvannTel

And here - in oz!

Sherlock Holmes

Hmmm..not in Victoria. They aren't fitted to any vehicle.

Thats a broad statement. Do they remove them at the border

Presumably not in NSW or Qld. I don't have them on the car I bought in Qld and when we were looking for a new car in NSW, the dealer was going on about how the fog lights were included. 'Is that front and rear?' I asked. 'Just front' he says 'I can tell you're from England!'

From a safety aspect, I'd have said that rear fog lights were more important - but perhaps that IS because I'm from England!

Fog ? Don't see much of that these days. I tend to forget all about fog lights, wouldn't know which switch it was now.

ABCDiamond

Or put another way, New cars that hold their value very well as they get older




Compared to 112k on a UK motorway, yes I agree....

fish.01

It has been banned in Qld now.....see less of it this year.

mr mover

Have a look at most of the Hyundai range have factory fitted fog lights, here in sa if you have them on it had better be foggy otherwise you get fined.....mm
