Unhappy give us a break......

This morning,I'm cruising to work down Frankford,approaching the Tollway when I come upon this new,with temp.tags,black over Silver Harley,I go by and give him a burp with the pipes and change lanes just in front of him...it's then I realize this guys got his fog lights on and they are filling every mirror on my truck...I give the road sign of bright lights by rolling my rear view mirror and tapping my brakes...still the glare..so I'm cool and roll all my mirrors so the light won't shine in on my 6 pack eyes...when we get to the tollway he comes up next to my right side and I signile to roll down his window...i say nice truck but your fogs are on and they really blind you and he really should'nt run with them on...he looks over and says I guess they are working good huh?..I say yeah you should turn them off...he says well thats my choice, so i'm leaving them on...well I'm short tempered as it is in the morning,so i tell him i was trying to be cool about it and he tells me to go *uck myself..now it must be my age or hangover but i bassically let it go at that and just smoked my tires through the intersection and let him fog on that..but the point is, you guys(and gals) with the fogs...give the rest of us a break...they're FOG lights...thanks..oh P.S. I'll be looking for him tommorrow...with my 10 millon candle power deer blinder spot light right in his mirror...J/K

I agree with you on all your points but one. They aren't "fog" lights. They are driving lights. If they were fog lights, they would have a fluted lens to cast a low wide beam...

Fog light are to be used in the fog, not clear weather. In Mass. it is illegal to use aux. lights when traffic is going in the opposite direction, as in most states. There are a lot of people riding with them on now that most cars come with them. The police have not inforceing this law because they have more important things to do. If anyones lights bother you, do what I do, hit them with KC's Daylighters. LOL....That should straighten them out.

The most important rule to remember while driving in Dallas traffic. Don't try to communicate laws or courtesy to the other driver while on the road. If the moron does not get it before he puts the key in the ignition, he won't get it tooling 80 mph down the road three inches from your rear bumper talking on his cell phone and smoking a cigarette.

Sounds like an alignment problem to me too. I also did the mod and would not have it any other way. They are driving lights not foglights as someone pointed out so they are meant to provide additional light when driving.

I run mine all the time and have never had anyone point out a problem so I would guess this guy needs his aligned. Sounds like he wasn't very cooperative though.
