The story I heard suggested that Munich made the auto-wiper switch so that in cold climates they don't automatically start when the wiper rubbers are frozen to the screen and get wrenched off.
Would have made them some $ in replacement wipers, but it does make sense.

Well said. If fog lights are making you a safer driver when it's no fog. Then you shouldn't be driving at all.

It seem those driving with their fog lights on with no fog are clearly in a fog, so perhaps they are necessary.
HAHAHAHA I like that one... I'm using my fog lights from now on.

Iceman, your obsessiveness over this is downright weird. Chill out dude. You're like some kinda freak. Did you lose a loved one to a foglight accident or something?????
I'm obsessed, a weird freak, and had a foglight accident... here on the forum... :lP

Rear fog lights are not offered on US cars (thank God!)
