Is there a really legible Quantum sign on the back of your car Matthew. I guess a few curious cats have had their existence terminated as a result of trying to read make and model names on the tail end of interesting looking vehicles? Part of the nuisance to you might be eliminated if you could fit a dipping interior rear view mirror. If you haven't encountered them they usually click between normal and dipped by giving the lower edge a push with your fingertips. In the dipped position you can still see that the following car is there but if they are using headlamps the beams from them are deflected downwards so that your eyes are unaffected. Electronic message boards can be fitted behind the rear windshield which can be programmed to give a succinct polite warning but the ingenioius might opt for a roller blind like device that could carry a suitable warning - I seem to recall that the police had something like this to indicate to drivers that they had passed cars who had been overtaken that the police crew wanted them to stop. If the problem usually occurs after dusk a message on reflective tape might be effective.. When I had a 1930's Morgan 3 wheeler I fitted a manually operated brake light switch - the real motive for this was so that I could leave my brake light on if, or rather when, I had a problem with the tail light circuit. Judicious use of the brake light switch and simultaneous use of the accelerator usually was effective in dissuading those following too closely presumably by making the following driver feel that he has slammed on his brakes far too hard. I must admit however that roads carried less traffic in those days and we did not have 125 mile long circular car parks like the M25 to contend with. Michael
