Intriguing idea. The concept is that drivers behind you in adverse
conditions (like fog or powdery snow) can see you, but they are not blinded
by you, nor do they perceive that you are either pulled off on the shoulder,
or heading toward them??
I've never actually found out: Do "fog lights" really cut through fog? Most
of the time, they are just used to look cool.
