front fogs are fine since they're aimed low. Rear fogs aren't. They're like the brake lights (or maybe even slightly brighter)

There's one car that I pass many mornings on my way to work--has its high beams on every day (it's got to be over a year I've been seeing this). I flash, honk--nothing. It would not surprise me if that person doesn't even know what a "high beam" is.

dunno. They're not old ppl. They're young "kids" in their Audis. Volvo drivers don't seem to have a problem leaving their rear fogs off.

Oh, I know what they are...I've seen plenty of people in Jags, Audis and Benzes driving around with those European rear fogs on, and I'm sure most don't even know it.

When I said fogs, I meant front foglights. I use mind all the time, because I want to increase the chances of people seeing me when the lightlevels are low or annoying.
