NOT KNOWING WHERE ELSE TO PLACE THIS, I CHOSE THE VEHICLE TYPE ONLY TO PROCEED TO THIS POINT. JUST AN IDEA TO SUGGEST CONCERNING VEHICLE DESIGN THAT AFFECTS SAFETY: I HAVE BEEN BEHIND VEHICLES TRAVELING WEST IN THE EARLY AM OR EAST AROUND SUNSET AND IF A VEHICLES REAR WINDOW IS DESIGNED FLAT, IT PERFECTLY REFLECTS THE BRIGHT SUN INTO THE FACE OF THE DRIVER FOLLOWING SUCH A VEHICLE CAUSING A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD IN THAT BLINDS THE FOLLOWING DRIVER. I DO NOT KNOW IF YOUR AGENCY HAS THE AUTHORITY TO DO WHAT I WILL SUGGEST BUT IF YOU DO, IT WOULD BE IN THE PUBLICS INTEREST TO REQUIRE NEW CAR DESIGNS TO NOT INCLUDE FLAT SURFACES THAT ARE POSITIONED IN A MANNER TO REFLECT NATURAL SUNLIGHT INTO THE FACE OF A DRIVER BEHIND SUCH A VEHICLE. I OFFER THIS SUGGESTION IN SINCERITY FOR SAFETY. SINCERELY, [XXX]. *AK PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
