RE: Foglights and high beams on at same time???
You have to remember that you're sharing the road with other drivers...what about oncoming drivers? Fog lamps and Hi beams are a blinder for people in oncoming lanes......I myself have experienced this numerous times.... if you're going to have them on, then at least turn them off when you see oncoming traffic approaching, or when behind another vehicle......it's called common courtesy.
It's like giving another driver a wave, (Thanks) when he lets you cut in front of him.....You don't know how many times i've seen people allowed to cut in, and never thank the other driver.....you can always tell who's been driving the longest.....by these little actions.....

Well yeah that's a given, you are never supposed to leave your highbeams on when somebody else is coming at you or is in front of you. The point is, is that its stupid you can't have your highbeams on with your foglights, it doesnt make sense. If one is using their highbeams, theoretically, there shouldn't be anybody else in the way to see them. So it's a moot law and does not make sense.

Also, fog lights aren't aimed where they could bother oncoming traffic. If this were not the case you couldn't run them with low beams in the presence of other traffic. The high beams alone are what blinds other drivers. If you had high beams on with three sets of fog lights and some Christmas decorations it wouldn't matter to the other driver - the high beams would be all he could see.
