     A few years ago, I had a car that had been converted from a {ugh!} column-
shift to a floor shift.  The back-up light switch was at the base of the
steering column and so was no longer activated when backing up.  I wired a
control-panel switch to said back-up lights, which I used to foil one person
who flashed his lights at me to get out of his way on an empty freeway.
