fog lights misuse
In the USA, Audi sells many of its cars with rear fog lights. Since
there are no regulations or training on the proper use of rear fog
lights in the USA, it is common to be blinded by a Audi rear fog light
at night time when visibility is totally clear.
I just want to say that I hate all clueless Audi drivers because of
this.
I bleed BMW blaue. Which allows me to pass your Audi *** and stop the
blindness.
Have a nice day.

I agree, however, my beef is with the clueless drivers of BMWs, MBs,
Audis, et al who drive with their front fog lights on, even in the day
time, without any fog within 3000 miles. I guess they think it looks
cool. Folks, they are FOG lights. Use them only when there is a fog.
I drive a chipped Audi RS6. I have fun watching the M5s and M3s
bleeding "blaue" all over themselves as I pass them on the interstate.
It is fun watching their faces when they come in second.
Driving an RS6, all of my days are nice, thankyouverymuch.

Of course, there are always exceptions to every rule

I know how not to engage the rear fog light... and your little BMW would
get its *** smacked by my Audi RS6.

I live in New Hampshire. When I am in Massachusetts at night, I use
my front foglights for advance pothole detection. Is that misuse, or
wise use of a multi-tasker?

Do you think this is limited to the US? Even here in Europe, where most
countries mandate that rear foglights are only switched on if visibility
is below a certain distance (usually around 50m), clueless morons switch
on their rear fog lights even when there is no trace of fog. You would
think that since it is regulated and teached ad driving school that
people know how to use it but no.
However, i think it often is also a problem that these lights once used
often are forgotten. Especially older cars often had a very dim control
light hidden somewhere on the dash board where no driver would usually
look for it.

Front fogs light up the road about 10 feet in front of the car. You'd have
to be going pretty slowly for any "advance" warning to be of any use to you.
Try using your headlamps instead.

d;o) Yeah, Mass has its potholes, thanks to the state government that
taxes and spends on everything except roads and bridges. In my travels
thoughout NE, I've noticed pot holes in just about every state. New
York too, and Pa.
However, if you are using fog lights to spot potholes, you are driving
very, very slow. Fog lights illuminate nothing except off to the side
a bit and maybe five feet in front on you. You really should try your
normal lights.
When I go into NH, I drive extremely careful. I wouldn't want to get
in an accident with a native, especially one driving some clapped out
Chevy, because chances are 9 in 10 that he's not insured.
Fog lights, both front and rear, are for FOG. That's why they're
called FOG lights.

I have noticed an increasing number of drivers in the UK now put their
front fog lights on (in addition to the main headlamps) just because
it's dark (or maybe they think it is 'cool').

I've also noticed that an increasing number of drivers in the UK are
using their main headlights when the weather is slightly dull and when
visibility is fine. I've even been flashed several times (I guess)
for not having my lights on when they are not needed.
