When did rear fog lights become mandated? I drove a 1991 Alfa Romeo 33 QV while I lived in the Netherlands 1990 - 1994 and I'm sure it didn't have rear fog lights. Nor do I remember seeing them on many cars in the Holland during that time. Or perhaps I just wasn't observant.
Not many folk use them as here in the UK we still get mist and ground fog but nothing like the pea-soupers we had in the 60's.
It really has to be bad for folk to use them unless they are over 75 and blind or 20 and a young mum with sprogs in the back then they drive on full beam front and back all the time with notices in the window stating "young Person on board" with mother that has no brain and cannot drive.

The difference between men and boys is the price of their toys. Intelligence is not knowing the answer but knowing where and how to find it!

And then they leave them on for at least a fortnight, and look at you like you're some kind of hooligan when you flash them up to try and reduce the sunburn you're getting behind them!
Why on earth can't rear fogs be set so they automatically cancel when the lights are turned off, or the car stopped.
Factory fitted they are, switched off when the lights are off but if the rear fog switch is not turned to off they will be ON again when stoopid mum gets back in -- idiot fitted??????????????? your guess is as good or maybe better than mine.

C'mon, Sir Hugh. You expect us to believe that? I sthis some lame attempt at trolling? I'll bet you've pillage many a village in just the past 3-4 moons...
Yabbut... they don't really help the driver any. It's the damn:
"75 y/o blind or 20 and a young mum with sprogs in the back then they drive on full beam front and back all the time with notices in the window stating "young Person on board" with mother that has no brain and cannot drive"
that is coming up behind you that those fogs might be helping you avoid.
