I’m with you......notice the odd car every now and than but it doesn’t bother me.

Did have a hire car awhile ago and got flashed twice, so I hopped out and had a look at the front and noticed the fog lights were on, worked out how to turn them off only to be flashed a number of times during the hire.

Figured it must have been an issue with the headlights as I always drive with headlights on.

On a wet but not foggy or raining road they’re bloody horrible.

Ah. Ok that makes sense.

OK. But I have never owned a car with foglights until the recent P38 purchase, and I haven't used them yet. (Yes they are turned off

)
I think they turn off with the ignition and stay off.

There's no such thing as Low Intensity Driving Light.

That's illegal and you can be booked for using them when there is no fog, as my son was.
