I know this subjects been over done and yes they are illegal to have on unless there is fog. Then why the hell to I see cop cars getting around with them on? I don't know about other states but SE QLD, I see them all the time driving around with them on. So is there some special rule or law that allows them to have them on?

Driving lights or fog lights. They are two different types of lights or purposes of lighting.
Fog lights, usually mounted low in the front bar provide lower light and that usually gets fog to help you see in such conditions. Driving lights are usually mounted up higher, level with the main headlights, except AU T3 series of cars which had them in the usual fog light spot or so I'm told, are legally required to be wired into your high-beam relay so they only come on with them. Used to see further into the distance or slightly wider then the car's normal high-beam pattern. The police here in Moree drive with their high-beam on most of the time because of the dimly lite side streets and to look for people, mostly that's what you've seen

Nope... Very rarely will u see a QLD police car with foglamps on.. They are all told not to use them unless its foggy, but you do occasionally get a junior in the car that has no idea what that button does and ends up with them on..

this topic has been covered a million times, and from the opening post, all i see is a "people vs police" argument starting.
