New Jersey Blows

I happened to notice today like I do every day some douchebag driving an Audi S8 with both front and rear foglights on in clear weather. I have nothing against Audis (hell I used to own an A4 myself), but at least read your owners manual and learn what rear foglights are, and learn how to control them.

Most European sedans have foglights. There is a separate switch for front and rear foglights. Yes, I said REAR foglight(s). These are the lights that are as bright as brake lights that are always on, at least whenever the switch for them is turned on. About a decade ago it was only one single light on the drivers side, but now most European cars in the USA have them on both sides. I’m assuming that this is so they appear symmetric for the asshole who drives with them on in clear weather.

These rear foglights really aren’t necessary when the weather is clear. Front foglights aren’t needed either, but the extremely bright rear foglights that look like someone is riding their brakes can be very distracting to the other asshole who is going 90MPH and can’t see when he’s weaving through traffic to pass.
