Fog light should be fine, but why are you driving with your high beam on? You are going to blind the on coming traffic... LOL!

You can't keep your high beams on indefinitely

It blinds the crap out of everyone in front of you

Fail...

If you want to alert people use regular headlamps (not high beam). If you want to annoy them into moving, then flash the high bean, don't leave them on to blind people.

Hope you learnt something here...
