But this is the time of year I do find a use for Fog Lights.
When driving on a country road , during deer mating season,

I don't know if any of you have seen the damage a deer can do, pretty extensive .

Off... everytime. It bugs the hell out of me when people drive with their fogs on in clear weather.

I occasionally drive a truck for a friend and when i see a muppet with fogs on i play a similar wankers game.... there's very little you can do to out high beam a truck

Out high-beaming an E60 with bi-xenons has to be just as hard if not harder...

I don't use them unless it's foggy. Even then I think they are of limited utility. Fog lights light up 10 feet in front of the car which tends to make the driver look just in front of the bumper when he should be looking a couple hundred feet ahead.

Yeah, but if they're not on full beam they're not pointing in your face like a "wall of light" fog lamp does!
