Heavy rain is not described but as a rule of thumb if it is at that exact moment raining you wouldnt get a ticket. There is an excemption for all emergency service vehicles if they are looking for a street address as well as few other excemptions I cant recall atm.No demerit points for this offence in NSW but there should be.

But I guess that means police shouldn't have them on either. Next time I'll ask them to turn them off lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next time I'll ask them to turn them off lolYou will notice in the pic of my car it is sans headlights I hate the bloody things, if I see a police car with them on I will give them a piece of my mind have done before will do again and if they don't listen I will do something about it. For you I suggest to ere on the side of caution I can get away with it, but you may not.I believe that you must be seen to be following the rule of law at all times when wearing the suite, and I endever to do as such. That means that when I catch someone not doing the same I am not a hypocrit ( unsure of spelling ) and can follow it up to the full extent of the law if I feel it is necesary.

Those white lines on the edge of the road are called fog lines, fog lights are supposed to illuminate fog lines only. They don't help you see in the distance only help you track in the lane when you have negligable forward vision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way there's a place for them; not disputing that.PS: Still lovin' your front bumper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
