I don't know about different colors of lights.
Long ago in the bad old days some cities and particularly some PARTS of a given city, the lights were a liability. See predators gathering where they think you must stop.
STep back children mind the trailer tandems. Coming through.
Once in a rare while one will get up onto the catwalk and try to get my emergency line off.A bit fast J turn takes care of that. Scrapes him properly off that Catwalk back to pavement with a bounce. Then a little trailer jogging to miss his profanity howling butt by this much.
Just because I did these things did not make it legal, ok, correct or whatever. I happen to love the law, but I dislike killing people even more than that. So they get stupid once in a while. It might be a month before they are back in action. -
Use ur turn signals when switching lanes or turning. Also keep ur eyes on the road and no distractions.

OH MY!! OMG!! WHERE TO BEGIN??
WELL OK, WILL JUST MENTION THE WORST!!
3 LANE HIGHWAYS
PLEASE USE THE LEFT LANE!!
TRUCKS ARE NOT SUPPOSE TO BE OR ALLOWED IN THE LEFT LANE.
SO IF CARS ARE IN THE LEFT LANE, THIS MEANS THEY ARE NOT IN THE MIDDLE OR RIGHT LANE..PERFECT!! LIKE OTHERS HAVE MENTIONED - STAY AWAY FROM TRUCKS AND KEEP THE DISTANCE ANYTIME POSSIBLE..FOR THE SAFETY OF EVERYONE.
AND WHEN PASSING A TRUCK, PASS IN THE LEFT LANE. -
Some of us take story time very seriously.
Hold my beer and let me tell you about the time my brakes went out on a 25% downgrade. By the time I reached the bottom I passed a large pile of burning cars from other travelers who didnt make it. -
Wasted Thyme and MGE Dawn Thank this.
