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!

Weekly Rhyme.

You didn't use your brake lights,
you heard his tires squeal.
The guy behind stood on his brakes,
and spilled his happy meal.
You did not step down on the brakes,
you used the jakes instead.
Now the guy behind you wants
to whack you in the head.
Stepping on the pedal,
turns your brake lights on,
But jaking or downshifting,
means 'lumination's gone.
