Turning the night into ultra bright

Pet peeve.  I struggle with all the people driving who feel it is necessary to have their fog lights on - regardless of weather conditions or any other factor.  They leave the impression that they feel superior because they have an entire battery of lights aimed at the road.  My son, Brendan,  says that most of them probably don't know where the switch is to turn the lights off.  He may be right.  Driver's licenses are not an intelligence test. 


The Oregon Driver's Manual makes the point that auxiliary lights must be turned off anytime it would be necessary to dim headlights for oncoming traffic.   This must be the most ignored rule in the manual.  And the least enforced.  Nothing is more scary---except maybe an oncoming car in my lane--- than a jacked up pickup whose regular lights are aimed directly into your field of vision because they're so high and whose auxiliary lights accentuate the problem.


I'd say that this is as dangerous in its way as gabbling on a cellphone while driving-- another common sense rule which seems more honored in the breach than in compliance.  


Sigh...makes driving an unpleasant and stressful experience.
