An earlier thread about Beetle stoplights reminded me of a real fear I have about driving my 40-horse '62 Type 1 in the insane modern world: the collision from behind. Been there; not pleasant.
I know that it will be necessary to simply leave a little earlier, maybe find alternate routes, drive realllly smart, and carry a '45 Colt to cap the sonafabitch that rear-ends me. (Okay, I was [sorta] kidding about the pistol.)
But, seriously, what can a guy do to enhance the visibility of a Beetle's rear-? I have sometimes dreamed of having stop lights that oscillate quickly, or even a bright third light under the louvers over the deck lid.
Of course, until I convert to 12v I may be better off simply placing candles on the back bumpers. Any words of wisdom-?
Thanx
