Nu12 - by Cathleen Jem Caraign - Windshield/Rear Window Sign

NU12 – Week 8
Windshield/Rear Window Sign
Don't you just hate it when you're driving in SLEX or other expressways where 60kph is the minimum speed and 100kph is the max yet there are still drivers who can't comply with these rules? Have you had an experience when you're driving at the "fast lane" then suddenly a car overtakes you with not over 70kph speed? Sometimes ignorant people or those who doesn't know a thing or two about the use of a fast lane and a slow lane can be annoying.
My solution: A windshield/rear window sign made of LED lights. The lights need not be too bright but bright enough to be read by other drivers, may they be in front of your car or at the back. Installed in the car is a button wherein you can push different messages you want others to receive. For example, if you're following a car at the fast lane but its speed is around 60-70kph and all the honking and high-beaming does no effect with the driver, you can push a button which will light a sign stating "Move Over". Or when there's traffic in the area and the driver of the car from behind "forgot" to dim its high-beamed headlights, you can push another button which will light a sign from the rear window stating "Your Headlights are Blinding Me."
This product is another solution of those who are impatiently waiting for others to get the clue. Also, it lessens noise pollution since you're not honking throughout your ride. It may also lessen the risk of hypertension for short tempered drivers. Hence, lessening road rages.  4
Thank you Sir
