I put the front fogs on if one of my headlights has gone and I haven't a spare or means to change it.

I expect I'll end up in the seventh circle of hell.

And it's actually illegal but lets ignore that.

I covered the fact that its wrong to use them in the first line of my post.

My point being, it shouldn't actually cause anyone any [b]actual[/b] problems if the windows are cleaned properly, glass protection is used, and the wiper blades are working properly.
(And as said above, you aren't driving too close to the car in front.)

But people are more annoyed by the fact that someone else is Wrong.

Why bother with the fogs? You'll still have a sidelight.
Why not carry a spare? They don't take up much room.
How many times has this happened to warrant mentioning it on a forum? Maybe you should get your electrics sorted, or buy a car that isn't French. 😆

when they put the rear fogs on the fool behind them didn't get the message and continued to drive far too close for the wet road conditions.

Fog lights aren't there to give messages, they're there to make sure you're seen. If visibility is 50m, we're doing 30mph and I'm a nice safe 30m behind you, you don't need fog lights on and I'm not driving too close.

I think it clearly does cause people issues. People are wrong all the time on the road because the vast majority of people appear to be completely shit drivers but those instances don't seem to elicit the same sort of response as fog lights does.

Don't forget, a lot of people driving about have really appalling and uncorrected eyesight, not to mention having poor low light vision. Foglights used incorrectly can only cause these people more issues.

i think what we're dealing with here is a breakdown of society at it's very basic roots. We've peaked. It starts with fog lights, before you know it people will be beating each other to death with sticks.

Those people need to sort out their own problems then

or stop driving ?
