  I always find it funny when somebody with blinding headlights is driving towards me and I flash them, only for there to be some barely discernible change in their lights that I soon realize was them flashing me back

  not that I could fucking tell a difference

  New trucks only have high beams and higher beams.

    It’s not just trucks it’s pretty much all new cars

  Fog lights and high beams were independent on all cars I’ve driven, is that not the case in the US?

    Nope; factory-installed fog lights turn off with activation of the high beams in the US. Note that we can buy self-installed aftermarket fog lights and drill holes into the dash for the switch, but even then (in the jurisdictions I’ve lived in) you were supposed to turn them off when using high beams. But nobody does.

      It’s because seemingly the entire point of fog lights is that you get less reflection back from the fog or falling snow. If you put on the high beams, they lose their point and serve only to further blind oncoming traffic.

      I’ve found that sometimes it’s even beneficial to turn off your LOW beams and keep the fogs on.

        Oh, I completely agree. I was just stating how it is here in case that’s not the same in other countries.

  Our foglights are independent of the high or low beam setting
