FOG LIGHTS

This past weekend i got pulled up by the perth coppers...for having my foglights on. I driver everywhere with them on, as it gives a little extra light out to the sides of the main beams and looks cool as hell. But im not one of those blokes that has them on during the day to be a wanker, just use them when my main lights are on.

I got threatened with a 100 dollar fine and...wait for it....3, THREE!!! demerit points. When the hell did this bullshit law come into play?

I told the copper that it was the first time i had heard of this, and asked him if they were illegal then why wasnt i warned by the dealer about it when bought my ute? so he just told me that they are for use in conditions with limited visibility ONLY, and gave me a slap on the wrist warning.

WHY? they arent any brighter than low beam headlights? when did they start picking on us for this?
