I really, REALLY want to smash people's rear fog lights out when they drive with them on all the time. I follow a lot of BMW, Mercedes, and Lexus cars with the rear fogs on in perfectly clear weather. At night, it can be blinding. I got over people's using front fog lights all the time... Most American drivers call them 'driving' lights and think they should be on all the time. The rest of us (Americans) think that parking lights are driving lights. I guess they don't teach this stuff too well in driving school.

I'm not saying there isn't a time and place to use them... Just that I see more of them on when they aren't called for than I do in the fog.

If rear fog lights were mandatory, then more people would be driving around in good weather with them on, and I'd have to become some sort of light-smashing vigilante. Is bad enough with all the BMW, Lexus, and Benz-driving a-holes who have them on ALL THE TIME. Whenever I'm behind one, I just flick my high beams on and leave them there. My wife thinks I'm nuts. I guess I am.

Daytime running lights.

Of course, here in the US of A, we can't seem to figure out that parking lights aren't for driving, and parking brakes aren't only for emergencies.
