Try: "legal" "under stand" huh? Try: "understand" "ca'nt" huh? Try: "can't" "do'nt" huh? Try: "don't" "were your going" huh? Try: "where you're going" Mate... You really know how to spell. :-) By the way, in Australia, fog lights are only allowed to be used where conditions require them. That is, you can get booked for using them when there is no fog around. It also makes sense that you need to see further in front of you at higher speeds. A normal 60/55W high/low globe is fine for driving at 100kph, whereas 140/100W globes are only just acceptable if you are going to do high speed interstate runs in the middle of the night... (Not that anyone would do that of course...) :-)
