UK insurer says 'reckless fog light drivers' cause 300,000 accidents a year

It would probably be easier for researchers to change tracks and start telling us what doesn't cause cancer or obesity or car accidents. Latest on the list of automotive smash-up causes, according to a study by UK insurer Swiftcover, are drivers leaving their fog lights on in good visibility. The numbers are brazen, with Swiftcover attributing "as many as 300,000" accidents and two million near misses in the last 12 months "caused by drivers leaving fog lights on in the same period.". The UK highway code prohibits driving with one's fog lights on in conditions with visibility greater than 100 meters.
