Surely if you are on the motorway, its hammering down with rain and cannot see the car in front because of spray, if he had his rear fogs on you would see him. ..... BE SEEN. .....
NO! They are for fog not bloody rain! All they do in rain is dazzle the poor bugger behind you!!
If it's raining that hard you should have already slowed down. If you were in front of me you'd have my main beam in your mirrors - Yes! I know 2 wrongs etc etc

I have seen many traffic police using rear fogs in the rain on a motorway
It doesn't make it right! I've seen coppers without any lights on at all at night.
As golfbuddy suggests rear fog/intensity lights are a complete waste of boot space. I've had a licence for the last 28 yrs (Christ! Am I that old!?) and about the only time they're switched on is for the MOT. It f***s me off the number of people who see a little mist in a morning and immediately hit the rear fog light switch and only remember to turn them off 4 days later
. If you pull up beside them and tell them they're on, you're met with blank vacant expressions cos they haven't a clue that they're on! I wonder what they think the tell-tale is for?
(A plus point for an Omega is that you can't leave 'em on indefinately)
