This blog was created to help bring awareness to a major problem in highway safety. Heavy trucks do not illuminate their brake lights when they are slowing down using alternative braking methods, such as engine braking and downshifting. Thousands of car-striking-truck, rear-end accidents and car-striking-car, rear end accidents each year could be avoided if heavy trucks would illuminate their brake lights when using alternative braking methods. This reduction in accident rates will result in fewer highway deaths, reductions in insurance claims and ultimately, lower insurance costs.

Brake Lights on Heavy Trucks - Turn 'Em On!

That Thing Called Slow-N-Tell.

Hypnotized by tail lights, I travel down the road.
I’m following your truck, as you haul your heavy load.
My family is with me, my wife is half asleep,
The kids are in the backseat, they rest in slumber deep.
You pop your Jake but I can’t tell your truck is moving slower.
It’s oh, so hard, to stay awake, my eyelids try to lower.
Now, suddenly I’m wide awake, your brake lights I can see.
Slow-N-Tell has turned them on, they’re plain as day to me.
Adrenaline is flowing, now, Caffeine, I do not need,
I thank the Lord that he chose you, our family to lead.
I do not know your name, but your company’s, I do,
The next time I need shipping done,
I’m coming to see you.
Your desire for truck safety,
Could use some emulation.
Slow-N-Tell provided me,
Attention Stimulation!
Slow-N-Tell, Slow-N-Tell,
Brake lights illuminated, I know the signal well.
Slow-N-Tell, Slow-N-Tell,
When you slow down, It lights them up, your intentions, I can tell.
I appreciate the message that your brake lights sent to me,
It was quite clear, “I’m slowing down, you’d best be watching me”.
Thank you, sir! You saved our lives;
Your brake lights broke the spell.
I thank you for installing, that thing called Slow-N-Tell.
