I just turn my brake lights on, usually that makes them think I'm braking and they back off a bit
they almost always come back, though..
How do you do that? Does your light come on before you actually start braking?
Yes, just lightly press on the brake pedal.
Fun story, my car had a recall for the brake light coming on randomly. After they replaced the part, then the brake light wouldn't come on at all. Then they made it so the brake light would only sometimes come on. I said screw it and finally fixed it myself. The pedal pushed down on two different things, one to actually operate the brakes, and a separate little button for the electronic brake indication for the lights and for the cruise control to disengage (the cruise control also stayed active even when hitting the brake pedal).
Anyway, they screwed up setting the electronic button and I had to position it correctly in the little bracket, where it gets pressed if the brake pedal barely moves even if it takes a smidge of actual distance to start the real braking.
The fact these are separate is fucked up...
just press lightly and it triggers the lights with barely any actual braking effect
done with the left foot so I don't actually change speed
