Comments on: Old Yellow Sedan Has No Brake Lights http://www.lacantdrive.com/2008/10/28/old-yellow-sedan-has-no-brake-lights/ Los Angeles drivers can't drive. Plain and simple. Basic traffic laws and driving etiquette clearly do not apply in a town where the people seem to operate in their own little bubble, completely unaware or dismissive of others on the road. Call it what you will: self-entitlement, negligence, malaise, ignorance. My goal? To have mandatory driving tests randomly issued where drivers are eligible for selection after 6 years. Consider this jury duty for the road.

A great four-seater and lots of fun to drive. I owned a new one for a few years in Germany. The yellow car with no rear lights is an early 70’s Fiat 124 Sport Coupe.

I told her about it over a month ago as I saw her leave for work with the whole back of her car blacked out. When I mentioned it to her she said, "Oh, I know, I'm getting that fixed this weekend." She still drives in the early morning and night time with NO TAILLIGHTS, but the brakelights do work. I suspect that she will get rear-ended and then just act stupid about the whole thing. Maybe she wants to get rear-ended and is letting this go, so it will eventually happen. Dumb blonde! I have a neighbor with a Honda Prelude and her whole taillight system has been out for months!

Not sure of the model, but it is a late 60's year. Chances are it's been stored in someone's garage for many years and the RATS have made a buffett out of the wiring on all levels. Also, this car might be an Opel Manta. Let's hear some other guesses. When I drive my classic Chevelle, I am even more considerate and careful moreso than when I am in one of my "normal" cars. Whatever a motorist is driving, he or she should have all safety components on his or her car working properly. Maybe he hasn't checked lately. If his family loves him, they should tell him about the brake lights. Sometimes a driver will not know, unless someone tells them. I've told many drivers, because I don't want anyone to get in a rear-ender wreck. It might just be a stupid $1.50 fuse anyway!
