I know what you thinking,its just another traffic control submission, but this one is one i believe should be on every car in America these days, have you ever been tail gated all the way from point A to point
B?, i have (a total of twenty miles to be exact) and it drives me absolutely nuts because if you slow down to give them the hint to get off your back, they just think your a slow “granny driver” and continue tailgating in feeble hopes this will motivate you to speed up, also have you ever been driving on the highway at night and some one is on your back with their brights on completely dilating and un-dilating your eyes, this is a very dangerous situation?,I this should solve that as well,and i hope my idea soon becomes a reality, aside from honking and showing them your middle finger in a feeble attempt to get them to pass you, there really is nothing you can do, until now, my idea is to make a simple “billboard” that will elevate from under a hidden “door” similar to a VCR opening, the sign would illuminate any sentence or “gesture” you may want to express to that person, the sign would be powered by the battery of course drawing about 15 amps and would run on a belt motor inside the trunk, the sign itself would be like an LCD screen, or like the signs for drive-ins, i will start this project after my FM transmitter. comments or suggestion would be great!

While it sounds like a fun project, make sure your state doesn’t have laws agaisnt electronic displays. Usualy the law is bundled under “impersonating an emergency vehical” and mechanical movment outside of your car would be a compltely differnt matter all together, as it changes the length/width of your car.
Heck yes i drive a stick shift car ;therefore, when I’m in a hill facing up and i come to a complete stop my car usually goes back a bit after letting go of the break pedal which is the scariest thing . This would serve a great purpose for people who drive stick to alert a tailgater to keep his distance .
great idea. hope it works and maybe when i get my drivers license, your idea will be on shelves. good luck on your TGS (tail gate stopper) and your FM transmitter!
