European DRLs include the tail lights for this very reason.
When I was in Canada I was surprised to see the number of (American) cars that had no tail lights on in the dark. I then found out that people forget to switch from DRLs to regular headlights after dark - and when it's raining - because their headlights do light up the road ahead of them.
BTW fog lights should only be used when there's dense fog - so they shouldn't be on with the switch in the off position (because you need the tail lights in order to be seen), nor should they be used with headlights (as the light will reflect off the fog and blind you). The correct use is with the parking lights!
If you're lucky enough to live in a place without fog ... don't use the fog lights!
Regards,
Caspar
