Clear lens indicators are a far worse daytime death trap.

Not sure I understand where you are coming from.

Here here !

I always drive with my lights on, I have a Subaru Forester and leave the lights on permanently as they turn off when engine is switched off. If driving on dual carriageways or motorways and the spray becomes so thick that normal rear red driving lights cant be seen then I will put my rear fogs on, rather be seen from 50m back than having a car shunt me up the ar5e at 50+ mph.

Spray maybe.... maybe..

When it's just raid, what actually happens is headlights and foglights get scattered about by the raindrops on people's windscreens obscuring the actual car in an array of tiny little red dots, meaning that the driver finds it harder to judge your speed, position and distance.

And what does the photo prove? Not a lot really. But then we have seen you make numerous claims which when asked to verify them you have failed to do so.

Not sure either, but a hell of a lot of modern cars (in the right light conditions) have indicators which cannot be seen, especially when mounted inside the headlamp unit, because light reflects around in those and obscures the repeaters.

Ah front indicators, mind you it's hard to see the old orange lens type indicators in bright sunshine sometimes, especialy if they are dirty
