    Default I Guess Not Everyone Is Into Cars...

    I have a family member who once told me that using her front foglights at night really does help her see the road ahead better, despite my insistence that with decent dipped beam bulbs, foglights make only a negligible difference to how much light is projected ahead of the car. Then I pictured her car in my mind and realised that it doesn't even have front foglights and that all this time she's been activating the rear foglights and then thinking "Yup, that's better, I can see much more now".

    And I have another family member who lives in Canada, in a part of the country where the daytime temperature can reach minus 25 Celsius in winter, but who refuses to believe me that air conditioning should be used in winter to dehumidifier the air in the car (and it keeps the A/C seals fresh so reducing R134a leakage) rather than using just the fan which only moves the moisture off one window and onto another.

    And I have a rich neighbour who bought a brand new car but only drives it a few thousand miles a year, and at its first MOT he was given an advisory that the driven tyres were only just above the legal minimum tread limit. 12 months later, the car failed the MOT because those same tyres were now below the legal tread limit. And this was in late February. He drove all winter on almost bald tyres.

    Maybe she drives everywhere in reverse gear, in which case the rear fogs will give a bit more light than just the reversing lights on their own
