I'm very sorry but I'm going to have to disagree with you. There is no
such law that states visibility should be less than 100 yds before using a
fog light.
However I do agree that people over use their fog lights, especially front
ones.

Sorry Matt but with this one you are wrong. A quick google search shows the
following.
Rule 133 of the current Highway Code states: - 'Use fog lights when visibility
is seriously reduced’

You MUST NOT use fog lights at
This is one of the things that may have changed between different
versions of the Highway Code.
The online version (which should be current) has rule 133 being about
lane discipline (another area which needs improvement, but outside of
the scope of this discussion).
But I was pretty sure there
Just to clarify the law.
The law, at least the copy of to which I am referring has been in place
since 1989. I'm not aware of what pre-dated this.

Yep, that's how it is wired. Seems a whole bunch safer this way to me as
when you brake an additional light comes on, not a change in intensity of
another bulb. If you think about the three bulbs and what they are, side

As far as i know the construction and use regulations where they
relate to side brake and fog lights only give a minimum separation

as part of either the fog lights or brake lights (dual filament bulb)
or be separate in them

I think that early Sierras shared the same bulb for tail/brake lights,
with the foglights innermost.

extra lights coming on for the brakes, rather than the tail light get
brighter.
I'd far rather have the brake lights in the
