traffic light braking system

Red. Green. Yellow.

My idea is that instead of having simply red back lights on cars to tell just when they are braking, have backlights come in the red-yellow-green scheme like traffic lights. A car's back lights would go to green when the driver accelerated, yellow when their foot was off the gas or on the clutch (for stick-shifters), and red when one was actually braking.

       Pink if they are busy with a passenger, just to warn others that driving may be erratic.

       how do colour blind drivers get on with traffic lights never mind this? having said that, its not such a bad idea

       [po] color blind people just know that red is on top and green on the bottom. But not all color blind people have a hard time with red and green, it can be many other colors and shades.
