<b>Subject:</b> [Roadsters] 3rd brake light, and distracted driving<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>I hear what Gary is saying, and like “always on headlights”,
I thought 3<sup>rd</sup> brake lites were a boondoggle.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Unfortunately since then, distracted driving has become the
norm rather than the exception, and the fact that my roadster (’69)
tailites are the “activate second filament, get brighter” version (not new lite
coming on), and the known trait that they are so low to drivers behind which we
all suffer thru, I think the 3<sup>rd</sup> brake light is a wise thing to be
added, however discreetly / tastefully it can be done.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I commute in pretty tight traffic every day (though not in
the roadster) and commonly am looking thru the car ahead to brake lites of the
cars in front (and don’t follow them panel vans), and 3<sup>rd</sup> lites then
become much more important.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>My 4-door Toyota truck is a bit higher up, and the number of
people I see doing the head bob and “surfing” while driving is astonishing.
(appalling)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I am adding a harness crossbar to my “street bar” and will
be adding 3<sup>rd</sup> brake lite(s) like Dave Premo did as well.
(and Phil Erickson)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>(Todd Osborne did it really nicely by integrating them into
his headrests, if memory serves me right)<o:p></o:p></p>
