No, this is a nasty trend. Offending motorists think that because they are 'fog lamps' that they don't count as brights. It still results in four lamps blasting you.
I roll with 2,700 lumens - 1,200 and 900 on the bars at different angles, but by no means horizontal, and 600 lumens on my helmet for lateral sight if needed. This solution comes from years of commuting in the dark. My problem though is not motorists, it is wildlife.
