i wonder what was the thinking behind having only one fog light ?

European regulation require one, or two rear facing foglamps. If one is used it is placed on the driver's side of that country. Some manufacturers oppose the use of two rear foglamps because they would mimic braking lights too closely. I'm sure cost had something to do with the decision to go with one lamp also.

They also have much harder requirements that drivers have to pass in order to get their Driver's Licenses, so, maybe they're on to something?

Imagine another country having laws set up that is different than the way its done in the US, and it actually working to help traffic flow, or improve safety, or reduce accidents...

And you think that's worthless?
