Which way was 'up' in the fog? Did not realise you had an AI in the car.

Don't see the logic of this: There's always going to be someone following you: In any type of fog a bright set of rear fog lights is a good guide to there being traffic ahead: What's that traffic going to do if he spots me coming up behind him in the distance?
Courteously turn his rear fogs off?
What's the point of rear fogs on if there's no-one behind?
Nah: in any reduced visibility (including heavy rain/spray), both fogs on and quit whingeing....

Other is when in a queue of traffic which doesn't move , those inconsiderate drivers ( and not always slush-box drivers ) that keep their foot on the brake instead of using hand brake....... with modern cars with their super intensive ultra bright brake lights it dazzles anyone who are unfortunate to be behind
