    Dear Mr. Eggiman:

    On January 13, 2003, you wrote us a letter, the purpose of which was "to introduce to you people of the Counsel, a new concept in which the flashing of all brake lights, including the CHMSLs, in the event of a vehicles engine stalling."

    Thank you for the introduction. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 108, Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment, requires stop lamps to be steady burning in use, and, for this reason, your invention could not be used. All vehicles today are equipped with a hazard warning lamp system which the operator can use to flash the vehicles turn signal lamps if the vehicle stalls.

    Sincerely,

    Jacqueline Glassman
    Chief Counsel
