    What frightens me is when you see a vehicle put on their brake lights while they are clearly accelerating. I tend to back way away from that type of driver.

        In case you’re not being sarcastic, this is about 2-footed drivers. They tend to always have their left foot “resting” on the brake pedal “just in case.” What they ignore is there’s a small amount of movement in the brake pedal that will light up the lights but not engage the brakes. So even if they’re not just wearing down the brakes, they look like they’re braking ALL. THE TIME.

        I also hate this.

          My brake lights were “sticky” when I first bought my car, husband noticed while driving behind me and accused me of riding the brake.

          My car is a 6 speed manual. I couldn’t do that if I tried.

          Back to the dealer, they figured it out and fixed it.

        It means they are pushing on both the brake and accelerator at the same time. In essence, they are revving the engine, engaging the power train AND applying brake force to it all at the same time.

        If you only slightly press down your brakes you can easily overcome that by applying more gas.

        IMO that happens extremely rarely though
