NEW EYE-LEVEL REAR BRAKE LIGHT -w i M ? MI/-J BH . ■■ |^B z ^BLa / " •--..

You're going to see more and more cars on the highway this fall sporting an additional safety feature — an eye-level rear brake light that will reduce the danger of rearend collisions. Transportation Secretary Elizabeth Hanford Dole, who has made safety her number one priority, said, “We expect to cut the number of rear-end collisions significantly, eliminate some 40,000 injuries and save annually an estimated $434 million in property damages once all vehicles on the road are equipped with the third lamp.” Cars manufactured after September 1, 1985, will be required to have the new rear stop lamp, which will supplement the two lower brake lights. The regulation requires the third stop lamp to be mounted on the centerline on a vehicle. between the trunk and the top of the roof, either inside or outside the rear window. The additional lamp is the result of a new passenger car equipment regulation issued by the U. S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Rusty was the 1985 winner of the Chamber Balloon Race which was held during the Potato Creek Festival. Rusty’s balloon was sent up at 5:24 p.m., on August 10, and was found at 2:45 p.m. on August 11, at Eagle Lake, in the Adirondack Mountains, by seven year old Jason Herbst, of 1563 Bradley Blvd., Schenectady, New York, who was visiting with his grandmother.

The new rule follows federal research on vehicle rear lighting systems in an effort to reduce one of the most costly and common types of traffic accident. In 1984 alone, there were an estimated 3.8 million collisions in which a passenger car was struck from behind. DOT sponsored on-the-road field studies using taxi cab fleets and nationwide telephone company cars in the research. Vehicles in the study equipped with the additional, eye-level stop lamp had 53 percent fewer braking-related rearend accidents than vehicles without the added light. Owners of older vehicles may equip their cars with this additional safety equipment by purchasing it from an auto supply store or from auto dealerships. DOT cautions “do-it-yourself’ installers to follow carefully the manufacturer’s instructions. Proper installation will ensure that no technical complications arise when the new lamp is used. “The sooner ail vehicles are equipped with the eye-level stop lamp, the sooner all of us will benefit from this additional safety protection.” Secretary Dole said.
