I suggest just brighten your third brake lights or add additional third brake light, so the rear car can see better, not blinking lights...
I know how you feel. I have been rear ended many times, at least once a year. I have found a electronics diagram on flashing brake lights on the net. It allows us to adjust the number and duration of pulse as well. I might just DIY instead of buying a finished product or asking someone to do it for me.I am with cbsteh and papagoines.... I think it works....
I mean as long it is not the strobe lighting kind, which definitely can be annoying... I don't even mind the blinking/flashing type which is installed lower on the bumper. I have got rear ended a couple of times in traffic (not even a fast emergency stop). Maybe this little change would help...
Aiyah! all the accessories fitted here where got go thru' J**.....fyi.. blinking stop light is illegal here.. have a try.. install and shows to J**..
they dont need to go through JPJ... they only go through JPJ to make them legal.Aiyah! all the accessories fitted here where got go thru' J**.....
INSTALLATION OF ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT WHICH IS NOT ALLOWED
1. Blinking lights (other than signal lights and hazard lights) at the front or rear of the car.
2. Installation of light blue, purple or green.
3. Installation of a mix of horn or with a two-tone horn.
4. Installation of spot lights at the rear of the car.
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%.
Note: However, the use of tinted glass or colored material at the top of the front windscreen of 20% of its width and the window glass is allowed in the quarter may be amended from time to time
Thanks for the JPJ guidelines.To me, if I find cars with such non-stop blinking lights on their brake lights whenever they hit the brakes, is kinda annoying and distracting other road users. If it is like the 4th additional brake lights that many installed, which actually blinks up to 3 times then it remains as it is. That is okay.
If you are gonna install something that keeps blinking non-stop whenever your foot is on the brakes, is just not practical and is making people behind you have a difficult time in driving especially at night. How painful can your eyes be when a light keeps flashing in front of you brightly.
Is good, and it helps but install a proper one where it only blinks up to 3 times then it stops as just lighted up. That way, you feel
more secure and you are more considerate with other road users as well. A win-win situation.
A good idea, but get it done properly. If not, you are gonna make our eyes go blinking as well :stoned:
Anyway, before you go on with your idea, you may want to read some of the JPJ Rules for our cars before you consider
doing what you planned to do. Might save you a few summons.
JPJ/RTD GUIDELINES FOR PRIVATE CAR MODIFICATIONS
Let me copy out one of the section that related to your topic.
cbsteh...since u always kena rear ended...your number plate giving u bad luck.
happened to my sis' previous car....finally sold it.....
Nope, don't believe it any of those things. Besides, these accidents occur over two cars, old and new.cbsteh, I think is wise you try to go to the temple and pray and ask god if you are chinese. Or maybe go to some reputable fortune teller to see what has gone wrong. It could be something happened or accidentally trip on something bad.
Could be bad luck. From the way u say it. Normal gradually stop also can get rear ended. So is must be something wrong.
Or like Izso said, change number plate or car.
Sometimes things that we don't believe, is just there for us not to believe.
