NEWEST AUTO GADGET SAYS, “THANK YOU”
Courtesy lights mounted on an automobile enable the driver to flash a “Thank You” message to other motorists. The lights, attached to the radiator cap and to the rear of the car, are operated by a control on the dash or steering wheel. Their widespread use may tend to bring about better road manners by the touring public, thus helping to reduce the number of accidents.
