[Healeys] Fw: Extra lighting

[Dick Matson]

After it's all said and done there are no guarantees.

But - if you drive your Austin Healey in highway/freeway traffic at all, a
third brake light - probably - is worth the trouble.

Subject: [Healeys] Extra lighting


Concerning the topic of extra lighting  and visibility, some years ago when I
was on the fire department we were at a house fire and the engine was in the
street pumping hand lines, with every  light flashing/rotating  and still a
driver managed to run into the back of the truck. We were lit up like a
Christmas tree and still not able to escape Murphy. I just wonder how much
redundancy  we really need. I carry enough spares in the boot to just get to
the store and back, and now I have to worry if I am visible enough. I dunno.
