why do drivers do it all the time

I always thought it would be better for a buzzer to keep screaming the word "FOG!!!" at you if you were doing more than 20mph with the fog lights on, if you really need them you shouldn't be driving quickly :)

Not spray but you are right on the other 2 points.
About the spot lights on the roof bar, as someone else said, you are allowed to buy them, fit them, and use them offroad. The law is quite clear on what you can and cannot display re: lighting.

You MUST use headlights when visibility is seriously reduced, generally when you cannot see for more than 100 metres (328 feet). You may also use front or rear fog lights but you MUST switch them off when visibility improves (see Rule 236). ---

I have completed my Advanced driving test with the police and I was told to use my 6 hella roof lights as its giving a safer drive. The same rule with main beam and they should be linked to the stalk to turn both out togerther if you have dwellings or oncomming vehicles.
That was a police officer that told me that.
