Wow, how do you really feel about those taillights?
Rarely can you rear end someone and they receive the ticket, at least around here. If you rear end someone, it's almost always because you're following too close. Brake lights aren't the only way to tell if someone is slowing down. If you're at a proper following distance, you should be able to avoid an accident even if they don't have brake lights. If its a sudden stop, the lights are only one of a couple signs, like a raised rear end and an extremely loud screech. Depending on how fast your olfactory senses are, you may even pick up a quick hint of burnt rubber. :grin: I think everyone is going to be just fine.
Besides, if you bust out the taillights in a collision, good luck proving they were too dark.:bwahaha:
