1. Because it is fashionable to do so much the same as its not cool to use indicators on the motorway.
2. It is illegal to use fog lights or whatever you want to call them unless visibility is below 100 metres.
3. Because they are plonkers. |

To blind people. We need to get them all together and sling a few rocks at those S O B's |

Because they forget to switch them off, they can be fined for using them when no fog around |

Re-read your own question, and look closely at the fourth word.
That's why. |

I posted this the other day. Yep it drives me nutz!! Lorry drivers are doing it more as well? I know i shouldn't but when i get apx 40 feet from the oncoming car i blast em with main beam!! The only time i will be lenient is if they have a driving light out and they use fogs for back up. You noticed in general rear lights are getting too bright? particularly eye level brake lights? The new BMW's are ridiculous!! even the indicators are too BRIGHT!! |

because they think they look cool. but,like you say,most people just think they look like plonkers! (and that's being polite.) |

There are three reasons:
1) People have just forgotten to turn them off
2) They're boy racers and think it looks cool (doh, no it doesn't!)
3) Their main beams are naff and (although not correct) use the lights to help with normal night driving.
Incidentally, some cars do use double sets of front lights (fiesta XR2i's have additional "driving lights" as well as "foul weather" lights in the front bumper).
By the way, they're not foglights anymore, they're foul weather lights, you should also use them in very heavy downpours, snow, hail, or any situation where visibility is noticeably reduced. |

Because it makes you think before you pull out in front of me in my nearly 30-ton truck, and guarantees u will see me. I dont want to explain to your kids why daddy aint coming home tonight! Only fronts tho - never rear. Sheesh, why are so many of u so offended by such a simple piece of road safety? Heck, in Europe, most cars have daytime running lights! And I do it in my 300ZX too, for the same reason. Get over it, people! |

You said it yourself, they are plonkers. And why are they always in the fecking middle lane overtaking no one? |

Apparently some people drive with their llights on bc it makes them easier to be seen by others, especiallly if it's a bright day out. |

It's better than those who drive with NO lights on when it IS foggy! |

I think they are trying to say that they cant see very well and that their eyes are foggy like their brains...................
(some times i wish i had a bat so when i am near i can bash his lights off) |

because it looks real cool, and it paralyses oncoming traffic with due fear. |
