Is the silver 4.2 near 35W and Lake Street with the double rear fog here?

I drove behind a new Jag the other night with his dual fogs blazing in my eyes.
Nothing capsulizes the idiocy of American drivers than the dual fog evolution. It's like this.
Euro cars have long had a single, bright rear light to be activated in fog. It gives high visibility to people behind you. It's one light so it can be distinguished from brakes. In practice, that light should be used VERY rarely.
US customers are so feeble that they can't keep track of when their front and/or rear fog lights are on. Many tool around ignorantly with single red rear fog light on. Other morons say, "Hey, you have a brake light out in back!" Owners line up at dealers to get their lights "fixed" when actually what they need to do is TURN OFF THEIR FOG LIGHT.
Solution? Make rear fog lights dual (so they look like brake lights), and this way nobody will think they have a brake light burn out! Once again, the idiots win.

If you mean by "win", we have to change to do it their way, then
yes, the idiots will always win because... they are too stupid to change.
It is easier to change lanes that make a idiot turn of his/her rear fog lights.

Do you think most people retained that knowledge. They should pull the bulbs in the US....
.... and only install them if someone requests it.
One good thing about the Audi switch is that you need to consciously turn on the fogs (both front and back) each time. When it's a separate switch, it just gets flipped on forever.

You may have to manually turn the front and rear fogs on
each time but most idiots just pull the switch all the way out and never think twice. I can't begin to tell you how many people I've seen with them on and just don't care
