Too tall

I am tall and have a hard time seeing the stop light. I have been told there is a device that can help. Does anyone know where I can find it?

Yeah, that. But also lights are USUALLY convenient to the short cars and give us a lower light. But not all the time.

Thanks for the tip! I'm 6'4" and always have to bend down to see the light or stop 15-20 ft back. Just placed an order.

It's true. I'm 6'4" and have used the sunroof many a time to see a light. Between the sunroof and bending down a little, I don't have any problems.

I'm 6'4' and sometimes use the pedestrian walk signal. You've got to watch it here in Sacramento, at several intersections in the downtown area the pedestrian light go green before the signals. It gives the pedestrains a head start.
