RE: [T3] 3rd tail light?

["Erkson, Toby" <toby.erkson@intel.com>]

I had a mini-fricken-van rear end my Jetta in August.  No amount of light
would've stopped the moron because, and I quote him, "...I only looked down
for a second and when I looked up all I saw were your brake lights."
Drivers have to be aware of what's going on around them, be focused on the
task of driving, and keep a safe distance from other drivers.  In our cases
the offending drivers were not doing so.

As long as your lights are fully functioning and using the right bulb the
lights are just fine.  No extra amount of brake lights will keep idiots from
hitting you.
