Abstract: A device for monitoring and signaling trailing vehicles as they approach a safe proximity barrier to breaching that particular safe barrier. Once this barrier is breached, a signal unlike any other light signal found presently on vehicles will notify the trailing driver of their actions (i.e. tailgating). This light signal acts with the brake, reverse, hazard, and signal lights. The system is designed not interfere with such above-mentioned devices. With this in mind, the inventive device is non-confusing, globally understable, and easily recognizable non-confusing, globally understandable and easily recognizable way.

Abstract: A filtered drinking straw for filtering liquids passing through the drinking straw tube. The filtered drinking straw is an elongated upright tube possessing a pair of positioned aperture ends with a filtering apparatus that prevents objects of a predetermined size from entering the tube. This filtering apparatus is in the liquid path and is affixed either at one aperture end or runs the predetermined length of the tube. This filtering apparatus allows liquids to pass but not the undesirable objects of a predetermined size from entering the tube and subsequently being stuck in the tube and or being possibly consumed.
