BRILLIANT!

In stop 'n go traffic, I consider it a "Sign of Intelligence" to never light up my brake lights. My brake pads last forever, too!

I'm a trucker too, and yes, I see this a lot. It's kind of funny

Why didn't you take the brakes off the truck & get higher mpg?

I had to have them when backing down the slope into the dock.
