IMHO is still doesn't change the fact that the people who drive around
with fog/high intensity driving lights ablaze on city & suburban streets
are tossers who are just out for some attention.

YOU DON'T NEED THEM GOING ON STREET-LIGHTED ROADWAYS IF YOUR NORMAL
HEADLIGHTS ARE ALIGNED CORRECTLY.

BTW, if you're a real fan of "wanker lights" come to Newcastle - we'd
have to be Australia's home of bumper illumination! More TX3s,
Clubsports, Geminis, Excels with SCG/MCG floodlighting than you can poke
a stick at. Very sad indeed. No wonder people take the piss outta
Newcastle...
