SAFETY ALWAYS. BRAKE LIGHT VISIBILITY /IN FRENCH/

ATTENTION IS DRAWN TO BADLY ADJUSTED HEADRESTS. A METHOD IS PROPOSED, TO INCREASE THEIR EFFICIENCY, WHICH CONSISTS IN FIXING THE HEADREST TO THE CAR BODY BY MEANS OF A TRANSVERSE STRAP DIRECTLY CONNECTED TO THE REGULATION ANCHORAGE POINTS OF THE SAFETY BELT. THIS STRAP WOULD BE ADJUSTABLE TO FACILITATE THE POSITIONING OF THE FRONT SEATS. THE PROBLEM OF MAKING BRAKE LIGHTS MORE VISIBLE ON HEAVILY- TRAFFICKED ROADS IS DEALT WITH. IT IS SUGGESTED THAT THEY BE PLACED ON THE CAR ROOF; THEY COULD BE USED AS STOP LIGHTS, TRAFFICATORS AND RADIO AERIALS. THEY COULD BE FIXED ON RETRACTABLE SUPPORTS SO AS NOT TO TOUCH LOW GARAGE CEILINGS. /LCPC/FESR/A/TRRL/
