[Healeys] healeys at autox.team.netE: Brake Light switch

[Dan Stromquist]

My favorite was in high school my classmate's dad put Christmas tree lights
all the way around the car and added old tires to the bumpers front and
rear.  I wasn't sure whether that was all for her protection or the other
drivers.

This thread has generated a lot of ideas of how we can alert the driver 
behind us that we are stopping. Just how far do we go in protecting 
ourselves? Maybe we should install some warning device that no one has 
thought of.  How about a couple dozen brake lights sequencing and 
several red strobe lights? Seriously, talking on the cell phone while 
driving is asking for an accident. The other day my wife and I saw 
someone in a SUV go around two lanes of stopped traffic at a red stop 
light and continue traveling as though nothing happened. As we drove by 
she was busy talking on the cell phone. Don's assume people are going to 
stop for traffic lights anymore!!!
