[Healeys] 3-rd brake light

[I Erbs]

I have not driven my car at night in some time, but back in the day when it
was my daily driver I used some reflective tape on my rear bumper, just to
help people see me.
When I am done with the resto. i think I will update the tape idea. Like
many parts of the world,we have many folks who drive around as if they are
taking a bowl of goldfish for a Sunday drive and they are paying too much
attention to the water to notice the cars around them. This applies to all
ethnic, age and gender groups.
