Lots of cars in the UK have two fog lights, and many drivers misuse them,
leaving them on in conditions of good visibility (if they are doing 80+,
how come they need fog lights on?). Trouble is, when they brake, it can
be *VERY* hard to see the relatively puny brake lights come on, especially
if it is raining....
I'll get off my soapbox now...
