Study suggests that having front-facing green brake lights on cars could benefit everyone

This study suggests that having some front-facing green brake lights on cars could benefit everyone.

The lights are part of a new technical system called ‘Front Brake Light’.

If this study is correct, the FBL system could change the game forever.

The system could see vehicles change their red lights for green ones forevermore.

Green brake lights on the front of cars could be the future

Every car that takes to the road needs to have brake lights to keep everyone safe, but the usual red bulbs that live on the rear of every auto could change forever.

Forget red, it’s all about green according to a recent study – but the lights aren’t quite where you’d expect them to be.

Researchers at the Technical University in Graz, Austria, have published a study that has put forward the idea that green front-facing brake lights could change the motoring game.

“A new retrofit assistance system called Front Brake Light (FBL) helps the driver to assess the intentions of other road users,” stated the abstract of the study.

The researchers studied data from collisions and subsequently found that ‘an aftermarket safety system could reduce the number of accidents and mitigate their consequences’.

And, the numbers don’t lie either, as the researchers found that between 7.5 percent and 17.0 percent of the accidents that they analysed could be prevented, depending on the kind.

So, this new braking system really could be the future of road safety.

Lights on cars have often been a talking point in the car world

From the way the lights look to the brightness of a bulb and the safety levels, lights are a big element of any vehicle.

In fact, some safety standards across the world indicate that they must be bright red and, of course, work properly.

Laws and requirements vary from country to country, though.

Take France, for example – headlights in the country were actually yellow for many years, and there are a few valid reasons why.

But, thanks to the new FBL study, red brake lights could be a thing of the past – and life could turn into a real-life episode of the Squid Games – only much safer.
