Brake Lights
quote:
Instead of brake lights, safer to hit your emergency flashers for one flash.
Many years ago, when I lived in NY's capitol region, I had to make trips to the DC area on a fairly regular basis. The car I owned then was a Honda Civic Wagon, and they had a reputation, apparently, for being good cars to draft--cause that's what everyone did.
After the second or third of these trips, sick of being tailgated that closely, I installed a momentary toggle switch across the brake light switch. I could use it to flip my brake lights without even taking my foot off the gas. Heck, I could use it to send morse code if it came down to it.
It seemed to help, and made those drives feel a little safer.
