THAT REAR LIGHT.
SAFETY DEPENDS ON IT. The rear light is a small thing, yet on it may depend not only the safety of the driver and passengers, but also that of other road users. A surprising number of vehicles are to be seen on the roads carrying rear lights which are so dim as to be scarcely visible to overtaking traffic, except at a very short distance. Quite apart from the danger created by the use of such lights, they are often inadequate to illuminate the rear number plate. An ineffective rear light and a poorly illuminated number plate may result from an accumulation of dust on the bulb of the lamp. The blackening of bulbs, to, is a sign that their useful life is at an end, and they should be replaced as soon as possible. It is advisable to make sure that the rear lights arc kept clean and in good working order.
