Is it acceptable for a car not to have fog lights?

[MacAngelo]

It is not permissible for a car to lack fog lights. According to regulations, a rear fog light is mandatory, while front fog lights are not strictly required. Here are the relevant details: 1. Some entry-level models may omit front fog lights to reduce costs, but a rear fog light is compulsory. Installing only one rear fog light is not about cost-saving but rather enhances safety. Many countries mandate that only a single rear fog light be installed, typically on the driver's side. 2. Symmetrical lighting can desensitize drivers, whereas a single rear fog light is more effective at capturing the attention of following drivers compared to dual rear fog lights. Additionally, since rear fog lights are positioned close to brake lights, having two could lead to confusion with brake lights, potentially causing traffic accidents.
