What is a "tail light"?
A tail light is a light located at the rear of a vehicle, used to signal the presence and movements of the vehicle to other drivers. It typically includes red lights that activate when the vehicle is in use, especially when the vehicle is braking or turning. Tail lights help make the vehicle visible at night or in low-light conditions, ensuring safety on the road. Some vehicles also have additional lights within the tail light, like brake lights and turn signals, to show the driver's actions.
