You mean like the TUeV inspections? I'm sure they're a royal PITA but personally given the US climate of "get away with whatever you can, and do the bare minimum necessary to keep it legal enough that I won't get hbuttled" I can certainly respect where they're coming from.
I'm aware that the ECE codes don't mandate rear fogs, but I believe that several other European countries do, and that the rear fogs must conform to ECE spec (starting to bisect lagomorphs here, but WTF...)
I have actually read more of them than most people likely have, due to having access to them at a previous job and just a natural curiosity about such things. Likewise with NHTSA regs.
The dangers of DRLs 4611Okay. buttume what you wish. Lazy is as lazy does. I guess you're right. You're not qualified after all. :-) Several reasons. One, because it's unnecessary. Two, the site dosn't work that way...
Because people use them incorrectly over there? Not a uniquely German trait. There's actually an easy fix for that however, make the switch a momentary one activating a latching relay that resets whenever the car is turned off. Costs a little more, but it takes a DETERMINED idiot to leave his rear fog on 24-7 then. There's no need to lambast a useful safety feature just because people don't know how to use it correctly (i.e. rarely.) Personally I like the rear fog, at least 2-3x a year I seem to end up getting caught in a true pea soup fog, and always feel better having that little extra light back there. Which reminds me, I have a rear fog switch that I got from the YooKay, I'd better get that wired up before it cools off again.
