Reacting to the awful rear end collision reported this week here on World, I think a third brake light install is a low cost serious safety upgrade, Here is a question for SPOKE, how about suggesting or better, supplying a "blinking" relay(?) to wire in series with a third brake light power supply? Thus always, but only making the third brake light "blink' when the brake light is on via the brake pedal, to get the attention of these idiot texting drivers.

Here's the link from a few years ago discussing 3rd brake light options. And yes, I put a blinker relay in the hot lead. What I thought was interesting was that when I videotaped the light going on, you can see it light up (LED) a few milliseconds before the incandescent tail light bulbs:
