Brake Light without Brakes?
I've been wondering if there is anyway to turn on your brake light without hitting the brakes, like by using a button or switch. Mainly, this would be used to get people off of your butt. I am not too good with electronics though, eh. Does anyone thing this would be a good idea? or know how? thanks

but if you warn them you miss out on the "oh shit" face they make when you downshift and hit the ebrake..
![]() maybe its just LA, but tapping on your brakes around here usually just makes them flash their highs or follow closer. |

Just use your left foot to lightly tap the brake pedal (brakelights on without actually engaging the brakes) without lifting your right foot. Takes a bit of getting used to (unusual move for a non-racer

I'm sure it'll take a person of super special nature to slam on the brakes to the point where it'll cause an accident, instead of trying to push the brake pedal a few fractions of an inch to cause the lights to kick on.
