Not sure I follow that. The idea of the rear fog light is to warn people you are in front, during fog. It shouldn't bother people that it is on, unless they are driving too close behind you - in fog! In which case, possibly you need to look to your own driving rather than that of the person in front.
Um, no.
The rear fog light is to show the presence of cars approaching from behind. Once someone is actually following then that function is no longer required, and even if you are following with far more than an adequate gap then the bright fog light is extremely distracting.

That, of course, is another matter.
