as you are not in the UK, this may not affect you...
The UK MOT may not pass that as they need to be on steady, not flashing.
+ TBH a driver would probably think there is something wrong with your lights.. not that they are too close to your arse!

the second links look like hes just flicking his brakes.
which surely you can do just by squeezing the front brake lever in without actually scrubbin off speed.

usually incorporated with left hand motioning to back off.... normally does the trick for me. on rare occasions they dont get the message and i then do a quick brake test..drivers get the message after that! only in the dry i may add.

What a waste of money. Might as well fit some neons eh LP? :whistle:

Why bother with that - if you have bright enough lamps ni your brakes then the job is a good un.

If anything, I would fit some LED strip as an extra brake light, rather than have the standard lights flashing.

Proper chav style IMO

Thats one of the dumbest things i've ever heard, congrats u can outbrake a car, u can tell the driver personally once uve been scraped off his/her bonnet.....You can also out accelerate a car, which would be the more sensible thing to do in this situation....

ever tried to do both at the same time? select a lower gear or 2, quickly anchor on, as quick as brakes on- power out back up to original speed.
its something i have done for years to presistant tail gaters,. nearly all of them have got the message after this.
some times you cant just accelerate as your in a 30mph limit doing 30 or have a car in front.
