Is it OK for rear fog lights to go off when the ignition is turned

Anyone ever fully understood why we only have one high intensity
rear fog lamp?

some very old buses have ONEÂ* rear light and it is still legal to have
them on the road and it is not an MOT failure....

I understand that rules for old vehicles are different, but on a
vehicle which otherwise has a full set of lights on both sides, it
seems odd to allow a single HIRF.

I agree. The lighting regulations baffle me: they allow a single rear
fog light and yet you can be prosecuted for having a "single" tail light
(due to a bulb failure). And they allow indicators which are very close
to (and therefore masked by) headlights or brake lights. Some VW Golfs
are guilty of the rear indicator which is almost invisible when the
driver brakes. Almost every car made in the last 30 years has its front
indicators in the same housing as the headlights and so very hard to see
at night on an oncoming car.

The indicator problem does not cause BMW divers any problems does it:-).
