Why have fog lights?

Question:
Okay, I live very close to the lake, and it can get real foggy at times. This morning for example, the fog was real thick. I don't understand why people would purchase vehicles that have fog lights......but not use them in the fog! I see more people use them when there is no fog, rather than use them for their normal purpose--hence the title of the lights...."Fog Lights". Anyways, what do you think of this...do you see the same where you live? Are you one of those people that have fog lights on your vehicle, but don't use them?

Hi. I live in Las Vegas and we had fog here for maybe 2 hours about 6 years ago,but people love to turn on those fog lights.

I live in NB Canada, and people here use their fog lights NON-STOP! I can't stand it! Sure, fine, use them for fog, but for goodness sakes, turn them off when there's none!
