sitting at lights with foot on the brakes - why ?

...........Cos I'm too idle to bother with the handbrake?

My choice.....[don't have hi-level brake lights anyway...not since the old volvo died, at least]

No just more.

:wall: More bulbs = higher light output = brighter!

It would defeat the point if they weren't.

A refreshingly honest answer, even if I don't agree with it. :T

Brighter implying that the light emitted becomes more or less intense relative to the degree of braking. This does not happen. Therefore brighter doesnt happen.

You really have no clue.

The Dynamic Brake Force Display show drivers behind you how heavily you’re braking and allow them to react in good time. This drastically reduces the danger of a rear-end collision.
The brake lights themselves are divided into two zones. During normal braking, only one zone is illuminated. When heavy braking is detected, Brake Force Display increases the intensity of the brake lights by illuminating the second zone as well. In addition, the hazard lights are activated just before the vehicle comes to a standstill. The hazard lights are deactivated automatically when the vehicle accelerates or by pushing the button.

Is this something on ultra modern cars? Another thing to go wrong to pay out for to fix.

Maybe we should just stick with cars made in the seventies then.

As in the uk, foot on the brake in front of me, I just stay far enough back with full beam on. I do not get dazzled by your lights, but you do by mine. Normally causes them to release the foot brake.

So you also enjoy trying to blind those who's automatics keep the break lights on and the driver has no control over this as well as all oncoming traffic etc?
