I've driven rentals that put the brake lights on if you did not have a foot on the gas, and only lit a 3rd brake light when actually pressing the brake. Dunno why it isn't more common tho.
Because a think called a “brake light” should light go only to indicate braking?
To be fair, that's what the 3rd light that only lights up when the brake is applied is. 😌
Reminds me of the cars that now have the reverse lights on when they're just in park making me think they're going to back up but never do.
Yeah I've had so many Chevy's spoof me into thinking they were backing out of a parking spot only to realize they weren't, infuriating
That's stupid feature on American cars only and they've been doing it forever.
