Comment on Front Brake Lights Could Drastically Diminish Road Accident Rates
SchmidtGenetics@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoBrake light activates before the brakes engages, so they could just be resting their foot on the brake while coasting. Pretty normal defensive driving technique.

This is actually insane. Their brakes must wear out so fast, and two footed driving is more dangerous.

The brakes aren’t engaged? The light turns on before there’s pressure on the brake. They probably don’t even know their lights are on since they aren’t decelerating.

They might need to check their assumptions. It might not feel like the brake is engaged but it’s an expensive habit that causes unnecessary wear and tear. www.trafficdave.com/what-is-riding-the-brake/
