realistically, I opine, there aren't enough fog lights rigged as such on US roads. as a result, anytime you encounter car in traffic, stopped, in which one or two red lights are on......stay the hell away from them. move to the left. as infrequently as these are encountered, normal US drivers aren't going to have the neuromuscular reflex to weigh "hmm, are they braking or is it a fog light". so in reality, it may have more to do with light intensity and glare.

I'm curious how the cops would react to the "double-rear-foglights-that-look-like-brakelights-but-not-really-braking". I bet they won't be very pleased.

I don't think the police would even realize the difference. The older Volvo 240 series as well as other European cars had dual rear fogs. The issues with mistaking the fogs for brake lights caused me to remove the passenger side bulb.
