Statistical correlations can be dangerous.  For example, I have observed
a very high correlation between drivers who keep their fog lights on and
and those who tailgate from 10 feet away.  So, if such correlations are
to be any guide, then one must not give way to drivers who keep fog
lights on, because they are tailgaters who deserve no consideration.

On the other hand, if you agree with me that one should not use such
correlations blindly, then you will also agree that you should not turn
on your fog lights until you really are stuck behind a slow-moving
driver who ignores your headlight flash from a distance.

So, to help these correlations along, wait until you are actually
tailgating, *then* turn on the fog lights.
