If someone is gonna run into you stopped at a light....a little blinking amber light isn't gonna stop that.

Just my two cents.

Use hand signals along with the blinkers when in heavy traffic.

Few years back couple of older riders on lit up bikes at a red light one night and...BAM! Some teen plowed right into them, both got broken bones but survived.

I'm always hitting the brake lever and paying attention to the traffic comin up behind me at the light. You just never know, out of the blue, someone on a cell phone or other distraction.

Drain the blinker fluid and replace with Poli-Grip.

Don't know that you can do that but it would help if you listed the make year and model ( maybe in your signature ) so others know what kind of scooter you are riding ... Just a thought
