Rear Fog lights?

Always signal to other drivers when you plan to turn left, right, slow down, or stop.

Motorcyclists often use hand signals to make themselves more visible. Bicycle riders may give right turn signals with their right arm held straight out, pointing right.

Signal your left or right turn during the last 100 feet before reaching the turning point. At highway speeds, it is best to signal at least five seconds before you change lanes.

If bright sunlight makes signal lights hard to see, use hand-and-arm signals also.

It says Signaling, it doesn't say with what and that it's a law to have signal lights. You can use the right signal signs with your arm but that doesn't mean people will know what your doing because they probably don't know thoughs signs anyway.

I am not going to go searching everywhere again wading through their, stupid ass jibersh of the law either. I had tried to find it in a DMV handbook one time but it's so damn long and confusing.
I mean how hard is it to say "you need turn signals it's a law" ohh... big words sorry.

Nick:rolleyes:

Amazing. I show you proof, but you deny the facts and remain latched onto your ignorance. I see no point in continuing this conversation. Have fun with your strobes.

In practice, this law is almost never enforced, but I do know of someone who was stopped and ticketed for changing lanes without a signal... in Manhattan of all places.

That's interesting because, with the exception of the FDR and West Side Highway, the two 'rim highways' on either side of the island, neither I nor anybody I drive with has ever signaled a lane change, and I've been living here several months. The truth is there really aren't lanes, it's practically arbitrary. I wouldn't be surprised if that person was considered suspicious by the officer so he used 'failure to signal' as a reason to stop him/her.

OK, here we go...

1x Ford Focus, no lights.
Finally, here's a pic of the switch. Obviously, what with it being night, the switch isn't terribly clear, but the illuminations should suffice. From the 0 Position, the icons denote side lights, headlights, front fog lights, rear fog light. The switch is very well-designed. You turn to the headlights, then pull out once for front-fogs, and again for the rear fog. As you switch the lights off, the switch pulls itself back in, turning off any fog lamps you have on.


So there. Hope that helps!

Thanks, Giles! I can now confidently say that I've never seen such a thing on a car before - ever. I don't even recall seeing it while I was in France last fall... :odd:

I grew up in NYC, so believe me it was a surprise to me as well. My friend basically got off easy, because he could have been written up for 'reckless' (which he was). Instead, the cop took it easy on him so he got 'failure to signal'.

i don`t know anything bout the US, but in NZ, if you don`t signal, it`s not only breaking the law but it`s considered as rude.

I know, It's pretty much second nature for me to drop my right hand down to the lever whenever I go to turn into a street/whatever or change lanes.

But what pisses me off is the fools that drive along with their indicators on and not actually turn?
