What Are The Rear Lights?

Brake Light
It's the brake lights. There are two categories: left and right brake lights (two) and high mounted stop lights (one).
The left and right brake lights are an important part of the rear lights, one left and one right distributed in the rear lights on both sides. It is red, red has the meaning of warning. The lights come on when you step on the brakes (including the handbrake). The brake light is to prompt the vehicle behind to slow down or stop, so that the vehicle behind can prepare in advance. The current brake lights can also be divided into fog lights, which can penetrate thick fog. LED lights are also used as brake lights.
The high-position brake light is generally installed on the upper part of the rear of the vehicle so that the vehicles driving behind can easily find the braking of the vehicle in front to prevent rear-end collisions. The function of the high-mount brake light is to warn the vehicles driving behind, so as to avoid rear-end collision accidents. Vehicles without high-mounted brake lights, especially cars and mini-cars with a low chassis, usually have insufficient brightness due to the low position of the rear brake lights when braking. Vehicles following behind them, especially trucks and buses with a high chassis And bus drivers are sometimes hard to see. Therefore, the hidden danger of a rear-end collision accident is relatively large. A large number of research findings have proved that high-mounted brake lights can effectively prevent and reduce the occurrence of rear-end collisions. Therefore, high mounted brake lights have been widely used in many developed countries. For example, in the United States, according to regulations, all new cars sold from 1986 must be equipped with high-mounted brake lights; all light trucks sold since 1994 must also be equipped with high-mounted brake lights.
Reversing Light
The reversing light is automatically turned on when the driver puts the reverse gear on. It is white and transparent, and it mainly serves as a reminder to the vehicles behind (I am reversing).
Reflective Strip
In the rear of the car, it plays a reflective role. When the car behind shines on, no matter from which direction, it can return along the original road and shine in the eyes of the driver behind to play a prompting role. (Here, the law of physical light reflection at right angles to the original path is obeyed).
