Rear Fog Lights

I must have missed sonething. Why do you need fog lights on the rear of the car? Seriously.

My A6 has single rear fog light. When I follow another Audi - with rear fog light on - it's annoying and involuntarily you keep longer distance.
So - I use it in my A6 - to keep tailers away - it works.
Wish my M5 had it (with it's short breaking).

Though on a highway - without traffic - it doesn't metter even in a fog.

My wife's MB ML430 has a single rear fog light on the driver's side. I never think about it being there, but then again, we don't get all that much in the way of thick fog where I live.

Jim,
You may not get fog in Savanna but i guess you get rain. In europe rear fog lights are compulsory but there use is limited to fog and blowing snow. (whiteout)
However if used carefully they are a great way of making sure someone doesnt drive up your a--- (tailgateing) in the spray left behind you in the rain.

FRONT fog lamps are on the other hand NOT compulsory and if fitted, are only supposed to be used in fog or driving snow. But it has become "COOL" to drive with them on as they do in CA.
COOL that is untill you get a £40 ($60)fixed penalty ticket.
I hate people who drive with front fogs on, they are a pain in the a---, they are the same people who drive in the rain with no lights on at all.

So people behind you can see that you're there in the fog.
