Bakit ba andaming gumagamit ng RFL sa Manila where we don't experience even a slightest amount of fog? We were in Tagaytay yesterday, and it's been raining hard, pero visibility is still good and you one can still see a vehicle 7-10 cars away. About 6PM fog started to form in the streets (wherein you can't see a vehicle in front of you 4-5 cars away clearly) pero wala namang gumagamit ng fogs (only headlights). Pero pagbaba ko ng Manila juiceko onting ambon lang nagsi-sindihan ng mga rear fog lights! Nakaka distract sobra lalo na sa traffic na sa inis ko ino-overtake ko na lang ang said vehicles.

Ilang beses na rin ako nakapag-drive from La Union to Baguio via Naguillian and conditions there aren't dangerously enough that a rfl is needed. Pero city dwellers turn theirs on becuase "it looks c00l"

Reckless fog light drivers caused 300,000 accidents in 2011

- Two million near-misses caused by drivers leaving fog lights on in the same period
- Three million drivers admit to leaving fog lights on despite driving in good visibility, despite it being an official driving offence .
- One in five young drivers who had left fog lights on did so “because it looks good”
