Back up lights, raised brake light.
Cars in the fifties didn't have them. |
Brake lights and turn signals have been around forever. Then came backup lights followed by a bonus brake light mounted in the back window. Now add an amber light that comes on when you lift your foot off the gas. On a hill it may mean you're coasting but in heavy traffic it means you are on high alert making decisions. Give a heads-up to the driver behind so they can be alert and prepared to take action too. It's like the stress-free flashing amber lights at BC intersections warning you the green light is about to change to amber. Ontario doesn't go for them and it's a lot dicier knowing when to stop safely.

It's easy to add a bit of amber.
Just do the same to the rear window brake light. |
This is a cheap upgrade to improve communication among drivers and save lives.
While you're at it, how about Ontario beefing up those flashing amber warning signs?
