Before you can hit the road with confidence, it's smart to test brake lights. I've seen too many people skip this simple step, and it can lead to fender benders or tickets. You just need a friend, or even a shiny storefront window, to check that the bright red glow appears when you step on the pedal. It's a quick, cheap way to make sure everyone behind you gets a clear warning that you're slowing down.
