Why is is that cars always seem to use the dual-filament bulbs for
tail/brake, with a separate bulb for rear fog lights? Given that tail
and fog lights serve the same purpose, of defining the presence and
width of the vehicle as seen from behind, it would be better if
clusters were designed to have tail/fog on the dual-filament bulb and a
separate light for brake.


Probably history, as cars had stop lights well before rear fogs. But not
all did as you say anyway - not even all Lucas.
