Will High-Mount Stop Lamp Stickers Be Confiscated by Traffic Police?
1 Answers
High-mount stop lamp stickers will not be confiscated by traffic police if they are affixed to the correct position. However, it is prohibited to obstruct the brake lights. When applying the stickers, ensure proper placement and consider factors such as daylight and nighttime visibility. The high-mount stop lamp, typically installed on the upper part of the rear of the vehicle, makes it easier for vehicles behind to notice when the front vehicle is braking, thereby helping to prevent rear-end collisions. It is also known as the third brake light, high-mount brake light, or third stop lamp. Its working principle is that when the brake pedal is pressed, the high-mount stop lamp at the rear of the car activates to alert drivers behind to maintain a safe distance and avoid getting too close, thus preventing rear-end accidents. Automotive brake lights can be categorized by their position into rear brake lights, dashboard brake lights, and high-mount stop lamps. Based on materials, they can be divided into gas brake lights and LED brake lights. Common causes of brake light malfunctions include damaged brake light fuses and faulty brake light switches. Therefore, it is essential to regularly inspect the brake light fuses and switches for any damage and replace them promptly if issues are found.
