It was wet and damp here yesterday...quite warm though in the 50's.

Probably a good thing 'cos most would probably drive around with them on all the time. It's so annoying when people in the UK switch rear fog lights on 'cos it's dark or raining.
We're hardly likely to get fog in Arizona, but if I were to go to California then it may pose more of a problem... and why have front fogs but no rears?..

Every night, I see at least 5 cars driving along in almost night conditions with no lights on. All came to a head yesterday when this idiot came flying past in a black BMW with no lights on - I barely saw him. Couple of minutes later, there he was in the ditch after a truck didn't see him and sideswiped him off the road - making him the contest winner!

Can't believe the amount of people who don't have the presence of mind to turn their lights on when its dark here - shows how much concentration is going towards their surroundings vs other activities, namely the cell phone.

I wondered if it was for kids first in an accident because mom was too f***ing stupid to turn the lights on.
The thing that is really odd is that when it's not foggy at all, every moron here drives around with their fog lights on, yet when there is fog half the people have no lights on...........

We had a problem this morning with the thickest fog I have ever seen here. My truck was in the shop for repairs so I was riding on the back of the Triumph and with next to no visibility it was a pretty hairy ride into work :scared:
