Dear Spook,

I have to bring up that you again use the term "should".

>"that driver should apply his/her brakes."

My argument is that one bright fog light at the rear is as visible as two bright fog lights at the rear. Following that logic, if two bright fog lights at the rear are more easily misinterpreted as brake lights than one bright fog light at the rear...you are at a disadvantage.

I guess I am speaking from experience. My experience is that if I am following a person who has two fog lights on, AND KNOWING THAT THEY ARE FOG LIGHTS, I still find myself subconsciously identifying them as brake lights. If it is the case that an experienced driver who is intimately aware that some cars have rear fog lights can fall into this trap, what are the chances that the everyday driver will fall into the same trap. I would argue that it would be a significant increase. If that tendency can be curtailed by ONE rear fog light, then I argue that one fog light is ALWAYS preferable to two rear fog lights.

Remaining Respectfully Yours,
Ian
