    I have seen some trucks and trailers that have this white strobe light attached to the rear of their truck or trailer and what it does is it flashes whenever the truck is traveling less than 15 mph! It's supposed to curb rear end collisions! I just can't find where to buy one. Any help would be appreciated!

    Adding more lights to a vehicle than what is required to be legal may not be legal, For unsafe conditions the flashers are supposed to be used, using other lights going down the road may confuse others. Those lights might be useful backing up in truck stops and shippers and receivers to gain more attention.

    Good point. I think these lights stay flashing even when the brake lights go out. Could be helpful in construction zones and the like.

    White lights aren't legal on the rear of a vehicle, with the exception of the reverse lights and license plate light.

    You ever pass a rollback loading a car? These idiots light up the night and blind you. Then they drive down the road with all kinds of silly lights flashing. What's the necessity in that? Just wannabe truckers. Boys and their toys.

    I finally found the company that sells them. They actually use amber led lights which are legal from what I understand. Couldn't hurt to try it out!
