That's illegal and in no way a reason to flash your brights at someone.


Would you flash people if they had yellow fogs sitting lower than most fogs? What about completely stock?

That's like your opinion dude.... Fog lights are JDM AF...

I'm not sure so I'm going to have to fact-check you on that...

Wikipedia says YMMV subject to specific state laws:

Wikipedia says YMMV subject to specific state laws:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Headlight_flashing
Site says in Cali there are cases when you can and cases when you can't.

Flashing oncoming traffic is illegal here.

Most all states that specify flashing as a warning verse flashing oncoming traffic state that the latter is illegal. Very few states allow flashing in any circumstance. FloriDUH being one of the few.

Most that allow it will allow it as a form of "warning." But none will allow it as a form of "aggressive driving". Which is exactly what I was responding to. Someone who flashes people out of anger to "make a point."

Any cop in any state would pull you over for driving aggressively. Flashing your headlights, if deemed aggressive, is reason to pull anyone over in any state.

This goes for honking as well. I specifically remember in drivers ed being told honking and flashing your lights can get you pulled over if deemed aggressive.

You're not wrong Jon, like I said its YMMV and highly subjective. It's not as clear cut as say speeding or driving under the influence.

Just playing devils advocate brotha, relax.

Tribe, you dummy, Ferrari, Pagani, Koenigsegg, Porsche and McLaren are NOT luxury brands. They are SPORT brands.






I sincerely hope you see the humor in that statement...

Like one poster already said, fog lights should be close to the ground and light up the area of he road right in front AND cast a wide beam out to the sides. This is to light up more of the side of road to see the curbs and lines, poles, etc. in heavy fog.

But another thing they are good for is to act as cornering lights due to their wide beam, helps when driving on some twisties at night.

And having another set of lights on just helps to make your car more noticeable to other drivers who are probably texting or screwing with their mobile device rather than paying attention to the road.

To show off.

It is pathetic how they are used most of the time. Idiots run them on day light.
