‘Automatic headlights’ don’t work in fog? Safety Question
About 40-50% of the cars we passed on the road today had no headlights on or only had the dim side lights. Do automatic lights not work in fog for these modern cars? Seems super sketchy

Yepp. And in heavy snow too.
In EU they allowed cars to have their rear lights turned off since 2011 on new cars. Very nice to meet them on a snowy day.
