......having the outside ring of my angel eye spotlights on. Police tried to tell me that they were classed as foglights. Got the actual spotlight wired up to my foglight switch but didnt have them on at the time. What is the law regarding these lights?

you get a ticket or fix it note?
if not i'd not be concerned, but don't they just illuminate rather than shining brightly? how the fuck would that help you in the fog?

police said that i only just got away without a fine because he didnt actually know what he was talkin about himself. No fines or producers!

You're allowed to display fog lights so long as you're not also displaying headlights but only where the street lights are not more than 600ft apart. Usually 30 limits.

Are you sure it wasn't the fashion Police giving you a ticket for having stupid lights?
Just a thought.

What's the point of that? This law is so precise people won't be able to understand and will probably get tickets for stopping their cars in the middle of the road, just to measure the gap in the road lights
