Not on any of mine you never have to, iv had a mk 2, 2 mk 3's and 3 mk 4's, non have had to have fogs put on when i turn on the lights :undecided:?

No, I meant you have to conciously decide to put the foglights on AFTER turning on the lights.
The foglights also go OFF as you turn the lights off.

You can't 'forget' you have your foglights on...it's a concious movement to turn them on each and every time.

Reducing my Golf count by the week....

some VAG have em on a different switch., MK1-2 Golf, Scirocco, MK1-3 Polo, early Passat, Corrado etc etc. so quite easy to forget you left em on. With a MK3 Golf tho, you have no excuse ;)

Agree with the above, peeps who drive with fogs on really get on me tits. Also is it me or has this got alot worse recent like, when I first started driving would only see this now & again, now over the last year or so seems everyone is at it?

tbh i really dont get dazzled by fog lights, whereas the blue/white hids + similar can really blind you, especially the range rover/ similar tall cars

I don't mind most front fogs. The odd one might be aimed strangely and dazzle me but 90%+ don't affect me at all.
Not low enough mk5
Not on the road enough mk3

I'm blind in my left eye and seem to be attracted to lights, bit like a moth lol.

It is illegal when its not foggy and along with a fine they can choose to do you for 'driving with undue care and attention' for other road users if your really unlucky and give you 3 points.

driving with front fogs on in good visibility purposely equals a deserved £30 fine rightly so, and worse in the same class as someone with a burberry cap and a 15 year old mrs
