Default Re: My latest mod - Flashing Brake Lights

Hmmm...I like it.....a lot. Between my wife & I, our cars have been rear ended six times over the years. I drive to & from work every day in heavy traffic on I95 in southern CT. The absolute most common type of accident I see is multi-car chain reactions from people following too close and not paying attention. I've seen the usual eating, drinking, reading paper maps, texting, cell phone chats, rooting around for something on the floor or in the purse, lighting a cigarette and playing with the radio. The best one's I've seen recently were a bimbo using an eyeliner pencil at 65 mph and her competition which was a 50-ish woman using an eyelash curler at 65 mph. But the absolute Darin Award nominee for me this year was a woman in a Suburban who drove straight into the rear of a tractor trailer carrying a load of steel on I95 south. I didn't see the actual impact, only the aftermath. According to local news coverage afterward, I found out the dumb biotch died. Not surprised, the Suburban was destroyed. What if that had been me in my Crossfire?

Meanwhile, neither my wife nor I have ever rear ended another car. I find it hard to miss the big metal things in front of me with red lights all over the place.

So where and how much? I don't give a crap if it annoys people. If it gives the idiots a few more seconds of reaction time it could literally save your life.
