Josh and John give only one example of the usefulness of fogs when there is on
fog. There are a variety of conditions (one example--no fog or rain, but
damp/wet
roads and bright/many lights with reflections) that make seeing lane markings or
road edges difficult or impossible without the fogs on. This is especially
true in
cars with a very low seat position (like mine).
I'm more than "annoyed" to find out there are people out there who would blind
me
with their off-road lights because my street-legal lights help me see better
without harming anyone one else's vision.
Isn't prejudice and self-righteousness wonderful? Maybe I should start a
campaign
of taking baseball bats to those stupid-useless-dangerous 'roo bar
lights?!?!?!(:<)
