    I have this, you can buy a programmable LED sign off Amazon for a chunk of change ($150 for a decent sized one that’s bright enough for daylight use), stick it in your rear window, and then make your own custom messages to display. My favorite is “Move over” after passing someone on the right I’ve been stuck behind in the left lane for the past two miles.

      Nothing new under the sun, I guess! And here I thought I was clever and original.

        Happens all the time. Difference is, you‘re on lemmy and being honest. Try working at a startup where every idea is a mAjOr nEw iNvEnTiOn. ;)

          I thought the idea of brake lights becoming “larger” or “brighter” (like a bullseye design) depending on how hard you pressed the brake, was an ingenious idea of mine…

          Nope. It’s apparently been thought of plenty. Don’t know why it isn’t implemented though

            I had that idea as well! Funny.

            That‘s actually a good question. Probably has been tested and didn’t work properly.
