Indicators on cars

[otherclive]

What about Chez Fany. That’s pretty good too. We stayed in that area for three holidays based just outside Montignac at La Tournerie Ferme. A small site run by two British. It even had two pitches fenced all around for dogs so they could run free.

It was well sited so you could take your car along forest tracks to a nearby hamlet with a small eaterie beloved of local workmen. Ace three course meal plus wine for very little cost. Once took wrong track going back and it got progressively more rocky even the Sorento would have struggled. So backed up to turn around in an isolated cottage drive. Surprise surprise itvwas Jon Snow’s French retreat.

Hutch you have led me into Fred Drift big style 😂

I think I have , we had better reverse back after indicating.

We stayed at Le Moulin du Blufond, south of the river south side.

Agreed. Manufacturers are allowed to shrink indicators all in the name of style but won't provide front fogs on the lower spec offerings as it isn't a requirement.

To my mind front fog lights are a complete waste of time, ESPECIALLY when it's dark and foggy.

On my Santa Fe, I find the "Fog lamps" very useful on the countryside roads.
As the main lights are higher up we have a dead spot for the first few yards and the fog lamps help further sideways.

Decades ago “Fog” lamps were yellow. Did it help ? No.
I have yet to own a fog light that lets you see better in fog.
The physical make up of fog will cause a very strong beam lamp to totally reflect causing worse visual ability.
Flying a Tornado jet in fog however with its “sophisticated radar” makes it dead easy🤪

I thought fog lights were there to show your location to other road users and not to light your way? Many years ago coming home we ran into a very thick bank of fog. I was not driving. You could not see the white lines on the road until you were right on top of them. We had no option except to continue driving as could not pull over to the side. My mate had the driver's door open so that he could see the white lines passing by the car.
