what bearing have reversing lights and foglights got to do with this i wonder and as for not having headlights on your vehicle show me a car , truck , motorcycle that does not have headlamps fitted unless your talking about something thats steam powered perhaps ,and you most cetainly cannot dazzle oncoming vehicles because your headlamps dip to the left . Oh and by the way A Frames are technically not legal as there is no official ruling on there use as such and untill its in black and white from the goverment this will remain a grey area

p.s try telling this to the motorhomer that was pitched on the same site as me in Portugal this year  and was fined ON THE SPOT OR JAIL for towing a car with an A frame and no amount of protesting the rules worked for him

use your rights as an EEC CITIZEN tell the police to spin on it stand up for your rights we dont make the rules we only have to abide by them. so does authority.

Aye good luck wi that one ! let us know how u get on after paying you on the spot fine!  Maybe you shouldn't bother giving "good advice" to others who are asking a decent question!

i was only making a point that there is a ruling about not having to modify our vehicles when visiting other eurpean countries. as regards r.fogs n rev. lights we have different positioning of them in construction n use regs. it is in black n white about a frames as dept of transport has issued statements. it only started as an innocent remark about the construction n use regs. as set by europe then get altered by police etc. i did see lots of a frames in spain n portugal this year i also spoke to the owner of the french company that makes them, he has now got type aprovel in france. so life goes on have fun lets not get too uhappy we may need each other one day. cheers alan.

lights are not a requirment in this country . only if you drive in adverse conditions or at night .but it doesnt matter how much power a gendarme thinks he has, european law is not made by them, its only there job to uphold it. thats why english drivers use a frames in france etc. also why we are allowed to have our steering wheel on the wrong side to the rest of europe.  also when we visit europe reversing lights n rear fog lights are on wrong side ,we dont get advise to change themm,why?  because of the rulers i used in the begining.

I hope you have got a big keep net!!!

It's quite simple really, all obligatory lights that are fitted, must function in the correct manner.

See Granty - ask a simple question - get some rants and raves - get some advice and somebody always disagrees or doesn't appreciate your viewsmight be different to theirs. 

Oh and lights not needed, vwalan, does it not get foggy or pour with rain when you are on the road?

Take away the number he first thought of and then turn on your headlights complete with beambenders to see the answer!
