The answer is yes, it is illegal. And yet in New Zealand it's fairly common to see drivers hitting the road with their fog lights on when it's simply dark.
Those who have sat their written drivers test recently will be in the know, but be honest, did you know it was illegal?

As the stars rise and we enter this season of reflection and renewal, we’re sharing a little stardust of our own.
We’ve created 500 hand-crafted stars, made from reclaimed MDF and engraved with the words “My Wish.” They're gifts from our hands to yours — perfect for painting, sharing, or simply holding close as you set intentions for the year ahead.
This is more than a giveaway. It’s a small act of aroha — a way to reconnect with each other, with the environment, and with the spirit of new beginnings.
We’ve already gifted over 500 Easter and Mother’s Day decorations across the Coast, and would love to share this next one with you.
✨ Collect yours in Silverdale (weekdays)
✨If you can Like and leave a comment on how many stars you would like we can message you directly
🌿 Calling all builders & businesses with leftover MDF, perspex, or timber offcuts? We’d love to hear from you so we can turn your scraps into something beautiful. We transform waste into meaningful, creative products that uplift mental health and community well-being.

Emergency services were called to an “assault incident” on Settlement Rd in Papakura around 11.38am on Friday. One person was taken to Middlemore Hospital in a serious condition.
“As a precaution, several schools and early learning centres in the vicinity of the Settlement Rd area have been placed into a lockdown,” a police spokesperson said.
The spokesperson said an increased police presence will remain in the area while they work to locate the person responsible for the incident.
Papakura High School alerted parents they were in lockdown in a post on Facebook.
“We will continue to provide updates as often as possible,” the school said.
“Please do not come to school or phone the school as we will be unable to attend to you and this may cause disruption to the management of the situation and could potentially place yourself and /or staff and students’ safety at risk,” it read.
The school said it would update when it was out of lockdown
NZ Herald reported that Papakura Intermediate was another school in lockdown due to the incident. Keep up to date on the Stuff website.

The good news is, the Covid vaccine can help protect you from serious illness. It’s free, and recommended for you and many others as long as you haven’t had the vaccine, or Covid, in the last 6 months.
To book your vaccination, or talk to your healthcare provider.
