Summary

The Aviation Funding Stability Act of 2025 would allow cars, trucks, and other vehicles to use a pulsating light system on their brake lights. This new system would make the brake lights flash rapidly for a short time when the brakes are applied, before switching to a steady light. This could help improve safety and avoid collisions on the road.

Official Summary

Congressional Research Service summary

Collision Avoidance Systems Act of 2023This bill allows for the use of a pulsating light system for vehicle braking.Specifically, Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard Number 108 (Standard 108) must be deemed to allow for the use of a pulsating light system on covered vehicles (i.e., passenger cars, multipurpose passenger vehicles, trucks, buses, trailers, and motorcycles). The Department of Transportation must issue regulations to update Standard 108 to (1) include performance-based standards for pulsating light systems, and (2) allow for the use of the systems on motor vehicles.As background, Standard 108 regulates all automotive lighting, signaling, and reflective devices. Under the bill, a pulsating light system includes a system for a high-mounted stop lamp in which the lamp pulses rapidly no more than four times and for no more than 1.2 seconds when the brake of the vehicle is applied and then converts to a continuous light (as a normal stop lamp) until the brake is released.

Key Points

Main provisions of the bill

Allows the use of a pulsating light system on vehicle brake lights, where the lights flash briefly when brakes are applied
Requires the Department of Transportation to update safety standards to include performance guidelines for these pulsating light systems
Applies to all types of motor vehicles, including cars, trucks, buses, and motorcycles

How This Impacts Americans

Potential effects on citizens and communities

If passed, this bill would affect all drivers and pedestrians on the road, as the pulsating brake lights could help make braking more noticeable and prevent accidents. It could improve safety, especially in situations with poor visibility or distracted drivers. The impact would be felt by individual drivers as well as transportation authorities responsible for vehicle safety regulations.
