Narrative

Iv'e owned the Bolt EUV for a few months and I was almost rear ended at least 4 times. One time the person tapped my rear bumper with their license plate and left a very light mark. There wasn't enough damage to make a report and the driver stated that they didnt notice me braking. The brake lights are too low and not very noticable( see attached photo with arrows). This issue can easily be corrected. The Bolt EUV has a light in the middle right above the rear window that only operates at night when you turn on the lights. They should have it act as a break light also.
