They would probably just use the existing amber lights so noone would know if you were turning or not. I'm not bitter.

It would also help to know whether or not I'm going to get smushed.

Struggled with this for a second, then I figured it out...

The brake light coming ON isn't the important part, like the rear brake lights... it's the brake lights turning OFF that's important in the front.

So maybe, now hear me out, MAYBE we need to invert that. Have front brake lights that are on ALL the time, and pressing the brake turns them off to indicate safety?
