One night this week, I drove the car into the house driveway and noticed that the brake lights refused to die. Despite repeated steps on the brake pedal, as well as a short drive around the block, the three lights in the back just kept shining, red, blazing, ominous.

(Common problems nowadays: papers that don’t check themselves and readings that don’t read themselves.) i hear ya brother.

I'd like to know what happened in the morning when you actually needed to use the car again.

The driver discovered that the fuse to the brake lights was busted so he replaced it and everything was fine after that. Things beyond my keen :)
