Fog Lights in rain

[Ian 1800]

Drove in some very heavy rain on the M1 this afternoon. Why is it that numpties still doing 70+ think that they need their rear fog lights on? Get the same in fog, if it's safe enough to drive at more than 70 you don't need your fog lights on.

Drives me nuts.

Rant over.

Another monsoon and thunder storm around j24.

Lot of sensible stuff here.

I find that rear fog lights distract from seeing brake lights so quickly / easily. I'd rather the cars behind me could easily see when I was braking, rather than just where I was.

As for rear fogs in rain, if there's a plume of spray, my guess is that there is a vehicle there.... I don't need an additional bright red light to help me ascertain the fact.

I use front fogs from time to time on unlit roads at night, makes it much easier to keep track of the edge of the road. I also find that they can pick out the many lakes that need navigating at the moment, and icing patches when its colder. I only turn on when properly useful though.
