The coolest statistic I read about these has to do with the speed at which an LED lights up over an incadescent. The article I read (absolutely no idea where) said the difference was worth 17 feet at

Let me get this right... You HATE that "Big Brother" mandates the third brake light and DRL, but you WANT him to mandate helmets for everyone?!?!? As far as I'm concerned let Darwin sort them all out

An interesting variant of the flashing CHMSL (center high mounted stop light) was experimented with on taxi cabs in San Francisco. The '3rd' light would increase flash frequency and intensity with br

If you are already in the intersection in front of the oncoming car, the only thing a front brake light would do is tell you that you are about to be hit!! If you are NOT in the intersection, and you

<sarcasm> Hey, I think you've stumbled on the answer here... How about cars that have their brakes permanently engaged? That way they can't move, and if they can't move, nobody can crash, and nobody

I judge the above situation by watching the speed of the vehicle in question as it approaches the intersection. If the speed/distance equation doesn't look good for him stopping in time, I don't get
