Only One Rear Fog Light?

I have just bought an 08 registered 220 CDi Sport and was surprised that there appears to be only one rear fog light (driver's side). I checked the bulb and it is fine. The same bulb is driven dimly for a running light and then brightly if the rear fog lamps are activated, however, only the driver's side lamp gets driven brightly when the rear fog lamp switch is activated. Can anyone confirm that this is correct? Many thanks.

i cant remember the reasoning behind it, but most vehicles these days only have one rear foglight, i think it may have something to do with being able to distinguish foglights and brakelights in reduced visibility, but dont quote me on that.
