They do dazzle oncoming drivers and the fact that so many people drive with them on proves how ignorant other road users are.

you've got a horn on your car, why dont you have that linked to your lights too and have that on all the time

and yes, they do blind people at night

especially on unfamiliar country roads with very few road markings

my fogs do not dazzle drivers at all. they are honestly not blinding. no were near as bad as BMW lights and puntos, etc with their new blue lights. now they do dazzle you

Fog lights usually aren't as bad as people have their lights on highest level setting. (0 on corsas). That often blinds me, I always have it on 3 - the lowest setting.

It would be too difficult to police those with dazzling fog lights against those that have non-dazzling fog lights.

More efficient to ban the use of foglights except when it's oooh... foggy!
