Why Do Drivers Use Their Fog Lights When It's Foggy?

I reckon he killed him.

One has to leave the story like that, or one could incriminate oneself.

 

But I can say that I switched his fog lights off and he didn't switch them back on while we were in the gridlock

I'm picturing you smashing his head into the dashboard until the lights went off.

Nothing worse than following turkeys with fog lights on in the rain

The worst fog light offence is when drivers decide to put their fog lights on in crawling traffic. Happend today, d**khead in front decided he needed his lights on, even though everbody was traveling @ 5-10mph bumper to bumper and you could see 100+ meters - what's the freaking point, if not just to annoy the driver behind.

Why do I use mine? So anyone half asleep in lane 3 in the fog hopefully sees me before parking in my back seat. Modern factory "fog" lights are next to f-all use when it gets really pea soup-y so personally it's little more than a flag to see I'm there.

 

When fog clears they go off, simple. And they do cut out when ignition switched off too so I can have no excuse for leaving them on at all. Fogs irritate me less than people using main beam everywhere - that's just plain selfish.
