We need to get rid off all those unnecessary brake light signals that come when we just touch the brake pedal. It causes nothing but abruption to the flow of traffic. The signal cascading backwards in the que whithout reason.What we need is a sensor that lights the brake lights only when the car decelerates a significant ammount, eg. 5% of speed per sec.That way we would only get brake signals that really meant something.No cry wolf brake signal. This would increase traffic flow and increase safety because we then would only get brake light signals that matters.

I want to know if the car in front of me sees something that may require braking, whether he actually slows or not. That way I can be looking a bit closer when I pass that point on the road. There are a lot of deer in this area. . .
