Quote from wheel4hummer :What abot "blackouts" like these: http://www.rbp.com/steven/rsw-pictures/carback.JPG where the brakelight can shine through? Spose it would be good to have skined tail lights if you could still see if they are on or not...
If you are following another racer closely it is already too late to brake when you see the redlights flashing, anyway. I don't see the problem here.
