Here's an explaination:
The rear fog lights are red, right?  If you have one on both sides, 
people will think you're riding the breaks all the time.  I was behind a 
Range Rover 4.0SE the other day which had rear fog lights on both 
sides...it confused the hech out of me for a while.  The Volvos (I 
respect Volvo, so I don't write it backwards 8^)  ) have one rear fog 
light, which makes much more sense.
