Summary: Why a third brake light?

Why a third brake light?  It saved me from an accident!  Travelling at night
on a dimly light road, the car in front of me stops, he has NO BRAKE LIGHTS!
How did I stop in time?  Well, I saw through his rear window & windshield,
and saw the third light of the CAR IN FRONT OF HIM!  This allowed me to slow
down in enough time, since I knew that the car two cars ahead was stopping.
If not for this, I probably would have hit the fool in front of me (we were
on a 45MPH road, doing the speed limit, I was about 5 car lengths behind).

[By the way, this is exactly what the government intended!!]
