It really helps when you want to let the leader know it's time for a rest stop (for what ever reason), of course, it's also just part of the social aspect of the weekend - we don't talk constantly on them, but there ARE times when they help. Sometimes, in a faster group, there are things the leader wants to tell the group.

And we always want to check and make sure EVERYONE got thru that light.....

Remember, a set can be had for between $35 and $65 almost everywhere.
