Slow down, put on the rear fog light. That's how you're supposed to handle it, but either people have never been taught to do it, or they've forgotten.


You can't do that. We do not have rear fogs lights in America.


Well, you should fix that, then. They're quite useful.


It's utterly impossible for us to change this. We didn't invent rear fog lights in America, so because of this it would be completely impossible for us to adopt them. We're only able to change the standards for our cars when we invent them first.


Rear fog light?


All cars sold in Europe must have at least a rear foglight to be road-legal. Imported models must have one retrofitted.

Sometimes, rules and regulations actually do improve things :)
