Checks before towing.

Probably in the wrong place ! but just found a way to check my brake lights on my own. I used a radiator roller frame and adjusted the seat to hold it in place.
Simple and may not be needed by many, but as a singleton it helps tremendously :)

Nice idea from a fellow singleton. Sounds like a version of something 'Ed' used to use on Wheeler Dealers to check brake lights.

And you saved yourself a fortune!!

I thought about making one of those out of a mastic gun but not bothered having a go yet.

Found just the thing today at my local ironmongers.

Place the metal end on the pedal and the slider under the steering wheel ...... squeeze the handle a few times and it pushes the pedal down

Its always been a worry for me travelling alone, are the brake lights working when I lean on the brake peddle? not always someone around when you need to know, this should be a great help.

Would also double as a Krooklock is you could lock it to the wheel

A house brick is cheaper still.
