Nah just sidelights need to be on to have fogs on. Amount of people i have seen driving with sidelights and fogs on has gone up loads. Pisses me off so just drop in behind them and give them full beam HID blast
You do on a Fiat, thank feck.
You don't on lots of Japcrap/French cars it appears. Saxo crew seem to prefer sides/fogs here.

You can legally drive on sidelights and Front Fogs (only in poor visibility)
this allows you to turn off your headlamps (which cause glare)

Requirements about the use of headlamps and front fog lamps
25.—(1) Save as provided in paragraph (2), no person shall use, or cause or permit to be used, on a road a vehicle which is fitted with obligatory dipped-beam headlamps unless every such lamp is kept lit-
(a) during the hours of darkness, except on a road which is a restricted road for the purposes of section 81 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 by virtue of a system of street lighting when it is lit; and
(b) in seriously reduced visibility.
(2) The provisions of paragraph (1) do not apply-
(a) in the case of a motor vehicle fitted with one obligatory dipped-beam headlamp or a solo motor bicycle or motor bicycle combination fitted with a pair of obligatory dipped-beam headlamps, if a main-beam headlamp or a front fog lamp is kept lit;
(b) in the case of a motor vehicle, other than a solo motor bicycle or motor bicycle combination, fitted with a pair of obligatory dipped-beam headlamps, if-
(i) a pair of main-beam headlamps is kept lit; or
(ii) in seriously reduced visibility, a pair of front fog lamps which is so fitted that the outermost part of the illuminated area of each lamp in the pair is not more than 400 mm from the outer edge of the vehicle is kept lit;
this allows you to turn off your headlamps (which cause glare)

and for what point
Andy,
The reason fog lights are useful on country roads in adverse weather (ie fog) is they help show where the road side stops and the hedge etc begins as these roads very rarely have kerbs to use as line of sight.

Oh yes in Fog/snow heavy rain i agree but i was referring to those using them when on main beam or headlamps in good viability
