Yes I get that but it still seems to be distracting to the driver to put the things where they are. And then flash them.

And what is the information displayed? Some other sort of use beyond the blue class/speed identification light?

Presumably these lights will, in some indirect way, have an influence of driving standards, especially for the way that slower cars might be expected to use them to identify when to get out of the way.

Maybe they are more distracting on in-car video than they are are in reality for the driver.
