The 4 elements of my brake lights do seem exceptionally bright. So at night if stopped for more than a few seconds with a car behind me I will manually apply the handbrake to over ride autobrake.
I think the dilemma that presents itself here is, would you rather dazzle the car in the queue behind or warn approaching traffic from behind that they are coming up against stationary traffic!.
I think I'll be leaving the brake lights on.

I had an accident with that very scenario, someone stopped in the middle of the road and the brake lights were not working and by the time I figured out what was happening their car and mine was a fair bit shorter after I rear ended the stopped car.
