God bless the Kentucky Fried Movie. Gotta scroll to 6:28 (close to the end) of this clip.everyone in the Air Force has to wear reflective belts over their camouflage uniforms during night or inclement weather operations. I joke with my friends that the next step is going to be a cap with integral strobe lights, but I fear it's isn't too far off the mark.

There was a time, early in the Center High-Mounted Stop Light (CHMSL) story, when the NHTSA actually admitted that high-mounted stop lights didn't do a damned thing to improve safety. That study has long-since been scrubbed from the web site.We see it now with the addition of strobing brake lights. Are we admitting that the third brake light mounted at eye level is a failure? It was supposed to solve the problem.
Yes. Yes, Yes, Yesyesyes.DRLs were the result of GM's ad men wanting a safety innovation they could advertise because they were getting demolished in safety ratings. The engineers threw some extra wiring on and said, "There, I fixed it. Go away."
Total bullshit, complete propaganda, massive lie...but "good publicity".
