Rear fog lights on all vehicles (some vehicles have them now).

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

it's forbidden to use rear fog lights under rain (it's more confusing than helpful)

if you live somewhere dry, that's not a concern. But here it rains 1 day in 3

I don't know where you are but rear fogs aren't illegal in the rain here and from experience they are nothing but helpful in heavy rain and white out snow. I am always so so sooo glad when someone in front of me is using them when it's absolutely pouring. You really have to not be paying attention not to notice that it's two lights and not three and somehow mistake them for stop lights.

In fact, Transport Canada recommends using them in fog, rain, or snow.

Use only if driving in fog, rain or snow as these lights can be confused with stop lights, distracting other drivers.

II. - Le ou les feux arrière de brouillard ne peuvent être utilisés qu'en cas de brouillard ou de chute de neige. ☞ https://www.legifrance.gouv.fr/codes/article_lc/LEGIARTI000006842263

Feux de brouillard arrière : ils sont indiqués uniquement en cas de brouillard ou de chute de neige (mais jamais sous la pluie en raison de leur trop grande intensité)https://public.codesrousseau.fr/conseils-pratiques/909-feux-de-brouillard-avant-et-arriere-quand-les-utiliser.html

Ça c'est de l'osti de merde comme on dit ici.

Yes that as well, I love mine and use them a lot. But that's a step above rear running lights. There's no god damn reasons the rear indicators shouldn't be on all the time.
