Fog Lights

Fog Lights  To prevent uncomfortable and possibly dangerous glare for oncoming drivers, use front fog lights only in conditions of significant fog or heavily falling snow. Leaving them on at other times is either selfish or thoughtless and is symptomatic of a bad driver.

     The purpose of front fog lights (and the reason they are mounted low down) is to aid a driver's view when visibility is badly reduced, when ordinary headlights create a reflective glare that actually makes it harder for the driver using them.
