I dont know what the problem is that people have with fogs. I've never been 'blinded' by fog lights. Full beam yes, fogs no.
What I find more alarming and down right dangerous are the amount of vehicles on the road with faulty headlights, or idiots who drive with parking lights on and expect you to see them.
I'd rather be seeing a car with fogs on than the muppet with one headlight out and the other one barely lit. But I guess it gives someone a feeling of superiority to flash the idiot with his fogs on.
