The most recent NRMA Open Road, and a recent pamphlet from the ACT government registration agency, both state that using fog lights in other other than fog conditions is illegal.

This apparently includes the fog lights that come as standard on most current new model cars. In ignorance of the law, I had been using these lights (on an i30) as a substitute for headlights during daytime for highway driving.

I can apprciate that in the days of foglights being an add-on accessory mounted between headlights that they might have led other drivers to assume a narrower vehicle approaching in heavy fog conditions, but I'm struggling to understand why the current design/placement/intensity of manufacturer placed foglights should be illegal for use in the daylight.

Can someone enlighten me? Thanks.

Cheers
John
