Thanks... wish I had a co-pilot. that's my problem. I am
solo...
Checking brake and blinker lights is something I'm wondering about
thinking about some type of mirror on a stand or something? So I can
see the tail lights from the Drivers mirror and passenger mirror.
I can turn on the head lights and one blinker, get out check, other
blinker, get out check.. but break lights.. I know get a brick.
Oh wait...my break lights aren't connected only when Patriot breaking system is doing it's thing do break lights come on (I think?) so when Patriot is doing it's test the lights should activate & I could check then. So that would mean only two trips in/out to check
blinkers. I drive with my headlights on and would see the lights on
when I check the blinkers.
I have a rearview camera. Someone suggested I get a white reflector tape (like NASCAR.. so they know when wheel is straight), lint
remover white stick 'em stuff (it doesn't leave residue like tape)
cloth or something and put on top of steering wheel (while it's
pointed straight) so I can see it move as I turn and if it's
straight or not. Couldn't hurt..
Oh my.. the stress level is building.
