- This works until the BDI behind you decides to start ignoring your
- brake lights. Drivers behind you who ignore your brake lights tend
- to either execute panic stops at the next intersection or plow into
- you when you're waiting at a red light. Back in my Volvo-owning
- days, there was this "fog light" switch that would brighten the
- rear running lights, giving the impression I had just stepped on
- the brake. Very handy once or twice.
