[British-cars] [Spits] Recalls & Smart Laws

Boy, I sure do!

I turn on my turn signals to "advise" the people around me that I intend to 
turn or change lanes soon.

The brake lights serve the same function.  I'm "advising" the people behind 
me that I'm slowing my vehicle down, and perhaps even stopping.

In both cases, I sure hope they notice the signaled advisory I'm sending 
out.

Why I've even been known to flash my brake lights several times before 
hitting the brakes just to hopefully get the attention of people in back of 
me.  This is particularly true when I see we're coming up on a stopped 
traffic situation on the interstate highway.  Since I don't like being 
rearended, I try to "advise" other drivers of events they may not see or be 
aware of.
