In these dark and sometimes foggy commuting hours, I'm amazed how many cars have either one only front fog or worse fogs that go on and off at random. I'm seeing four or five a week with fog lights winking at me at the moment.
Are front fogs and their wiring made to lower standards than other car lights?
All other lights are a legal requirement but I don't think these are - could that be why?

They light to the side if the car as you turn. They only work at low speed.

Say you're turning off a main road into an unlit driveway, they'll light it for you as you begin to turn.
If that's the case, then maybe I am a tard. hehe
I've seen it on 'not new' cars so made assumptions. If they work as you describe then that would probably explain it. Thanks.
