Poll: Is it illegal to have fog lights on when there's no fog?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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?

Police are on the scene of an incident in south Auckland that put nearby schools into lockdown.

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.

Ryman resident, Judy Harvey likes nothing better than to read a good book, take up a spot of crochet or tend to her pot plants.

In March, Judy and her husband Howard were on a trip to Queenstown when Judy decided she wanted to do the 43m bungee jump from Kawerau Bridge.
