While driving last night to pick my daughter up from sport about 20kms away i could not get over the amount of newer cars with there fog lights on..I don't know if my eyes were getting tired but it seems to me that with the 4 lights on they are a lot brighter,not quite like high beam..I'd say about 99% of vehicles that had them,they were on..Now some say its illegal and some don't.I could not seem to find much on this site through the search forum under (fog lights,illegal etc etc)..So i searched google till i got to this..

"CHANGES TO ROAD RULES

From 16 April 2008, Victorian drivers face new laws when using fog lights.

New fog light law

Under a new law, front and rear fog lights can only be used in fog or other hazardous weather conditions. Previously this law only applied to rear fog lights. Fog lamps turned on when there is no fog can cause glare, affecting other road users' ability to see and drive safely. This law is also effective from 16 April 2008.

Now i am sure this subject has come up on Exploroz here before.

Another thing i noticed was the amount of vehicles with one headlight blown and they had the other on high beam to compensate,four cars in this time had this and they were roughly 2000 onwards to late (year)..

Yesterday i also noticed (did a lot of noticing lol) a 4wd with all the lights working on the rear bumper bar but nothing on the vehicle itself,this happens quite a bit and i am thinking its about time Victoria had a compulsory Yearly or Two yearly Road Worthy Inspection..

The Government are churning over billions of dollars in camera scam revenue but its not addressing the above issues,I suppose if you look at a cost ratio, Police in a car issuing a $160 fine compared to cameras clicking over like Pokie Machines..

I hardly ever see police pull people over anymore..
