I've always pondered the purpose of the rear central brake light on cars. They introduced this to cars in 1986. It seems as if two would suffice, which intrigues me: Why would they need a third light? The answer: Because God hates me. Let me clarify: Yesterday I took my driver's test. Let me clarify further: Yesterday I was supposed to take my driver's test. That was until the rear central brake light, which has never before served a purpose in my life, served the purpose of my car failing the driver's test. That FUCKER. Here is what happened: they test your car's lights and such before doing the parking part (and even later is the road part). My car's central back break light did not work, so I didn't do any part of the test in any way and was promptly sent home. There is no way in which a lack of this light would serve any sort of handicap whilst driving. This light serves absolutely zero purpose. Its purpose value may in fact go into the negatives. The test was at three thirty in the afternoon on what seemed to be a beautiful day (but was actually tainted by the lies and deception of the light). Basically, this rule is bullshit and I should've been able to take my test: It was light enough outside so that any driver could clearly understand the situation. Hypothetical driver: "Is this guy slowing down? I can CLEARLY see that his two rear important brake lights are on, and that his car is slowing down, but his REAR CENTRAL BREAK LIGHT (which I can hardly notice in the first place) WOULD DICTATE OTHERWISE! The only solution is to rear end him in an ignorant manner. (All because of the rear central brake light, which is clearly a hazard to the safety of the vehicle and all passengers within!)" Our car is black, but it's not fucking invisible. Why the fuck would this light stop me from driving? If someone's not smart enough to realize that a car is slowing down without having the most primitive and visually simple cue in the history of mankind, they don't deserve to be on the road in the first place. They're the reason I had to take driver's ed. They're also probably the product of inbreeding. I've never be so furious at a lightbulb in my life. EDIT: I retook my driver's test and failed because I hit three pedestrians. April fools fuckers, I passed! Who would ever hit three pedestrians? Kyra would. That's who.
