The locals complained that when they see that single red light in the fog, their heart rate hits max and the brake-or-no-brake decision has to be made instantly. I'm not going to update my car with this switch. I have no idea what US drivers would think if they ever saw the rear fog light on US roads.

I tend to disagree with this, fog lights work great in thick fog especially on mountain roads, i have never confused them with break lights. the only time the drive me nuts is when people ignorant people use them in the rain, do not use your rear fogs in the rain
or have them on when there is no fog.
