Front fog lamps should only be used in conditions of adverse vision such as thick fog or falling snow (effectively when vision is less than 100m)

when they say 17x8 tires what sise is it?


I use the rule that if I can see the car behind (e.g the bonnet or grille) then its driver can see my car, so I'll switch my rear fog lamp off even if it is foggy. Similarly, if I'm stopped at a red light, I'll keep my foot on the brake to keep the brake lights on to warn approaching cars that I'm stopped, but take it off (handbrake applied) as soon as they get close and are obviously aware that I'm there and stationary. I use turn signals in a similar fashion - no need to keep them flashing in someone's face if they're already aware.
