Dean Voelker, has an idea. He has worked of that idea for the past 17 years. He feels he has perfected the automobile headlight that will significantly reduce automobile crashes. He has invented and patented a new brake light system that lights up proportionately to how much force the driver is exerting on the brake pedal. "When you step lightly, it lights up only the middle of the light. The harder you press on the brakes, the more the lights light up," Voelker said. "If you skid, the whole light lights up."

Voelker feels strongly about the fact that if we know how much pressure the driver ahead of us is putting on his break we would be less likely to rear-end that driver because we would know how rapidly he is going to break. Another school of thought is: If you stay at least two seconds behind the driver in front of you, you can cover your break on time. Always assume the driver ahead may need to break completely. If he slams on his break while you are at a safe distance behind, if you are still unable to break on time, the light, no matter how lit up, wouldn't have saved you. Just a thought.
