[QLD] New foglight / driving light restrictions

[wikky]

They look hell good though

Mmm......fully sick. Also refered to as 'w4nker lights'. It's been illegal to use fog lights in clear conditions for years.

i dont use them cos they look good i put them on because they give more light on the road thats what i use them 4

i got pulled up ages ago for my foggys on my stato, the cop said "why so many lights mate" i just said i didnt know it was against the law to have em on..he let me off but gave me a defect.

Yep three new rules:
1. Fog lights must be off in clear conditions (I assume this means factory fitted ones too).
2. The DRIVER will cop a fine and demerit points if any passenger of any age doesn't have a seatbelt on (so if one of your mates doesn't have a seatbelt on, you cop the fine. Seems unfair to me.)
3. No U-turns over solid centre line.

Hang on... and all this is NEW in Queensland?

WTF?! Well, welcome to the 21st century anyway!

The seatbelt legislation used to be that if someone 16yrs+ had no seatbelt, they paid the fine - but obviously now they've taken the stance that it's the driver's responsibility no matter what.

I read about this in the recent RACQ mag. 40$ fine for fog lights on at anytime, night/day. Only allowed them on in 'poor visibility' which i think is BS cus about 4-6 in the arvy or early morning i like to have them on, not also for vision but so my speedo lights up aswell.

Say what? You do know that you don't have to turn your fog lights on for your speedo to illuminate?.... Turn on your parkers/headlights = problem solvered.

Speaking of these & the other restrictions / new laws that came in; I got a 10 page document sent to me from the Dept. Main Roads if anyone is interested in having a look? It's in PDF, I'm happy to email it to you if you want to read it, just PM me your address. There are some new rules in there which are worth reading.
