5. Installation of tinted glass or colored material on the front windscreen, rear windscreen and side windows which permit the light is less than 70%.
I think the side and rear is now 50%, the front 70%

Nope, don't believe it any of those things. Besides, these accidents occur over two cars, old and new.
maybe u should change your driving style.. esp. when u're trying to slow down your vehicle / near traffic light.. :driver:

it seems that you insist to install those blinking light anyway. then just proceed to any accessories shop and get it done. yes you will feel safer with those blinking lights, but not us that following you. it just hurt our eyes. TQ
Nope, not going to accessories shop, as already mentioned. I want flashing brake lights but not just any one will do. TQ.

The problem is, he would not notice/realize if there's a person having a seizure because it's behind him. :)

Anyway, just this evening while going home and stuck in traffic jam in Tun Razak, a Civic went into my lane in front of me and guess what, it had blinking lights in the shark fin antenna! And it kept on bloody blinking all the time! It was small light but pretty bright some more and it flash directly into the head/face level! How annoying and disturbing, I just had to keep avoiding as much as I could by looking to the side. :mad: Luckily a few mins later the bugger change lane again so I can overtake him. I'd pity anyone who got stuck behind this bugger. I wish later on a cop will spot that and give him a ticket.

Yes, I will let you all know the outcome, even after 2 years. I am curious myself.

Flashing causing seizure? Yes, that's possible, but that is like agreeing that using our turn signal may cause seizure.

I have decided not to go through the DIY route. I just ordered online a flashing brake light from the US. It should arrive in 1-2 weeks. It acts something like this video:

KAHTEC Third Brake "Blinking Smart Stop (Delay Version) - YouTube

Notice from the video that the flashing occurs for about 2 seconds, then turns solid. Pressing the brake again doesn't cause the flash unless it is 8 seconds or more after the last brake press.

The kit is very small (like a matchbox) and can be housed with the OEM third brake light.
