It creates mucus to trap germs and other irritants. Nothing wrong with helping your body remove these from your body.

They might need to check their assumptions. It might not feel like the brake is engaged but it's an expensive habit that causes unnecessary wear and tear. https://drivingmecrazyblog.com/2020/02/07/quit-riding-your-brakes/

Here's the technology connections test/analysis from 2023. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0YW7x9U5TQ

The claim is we need more comprehensive regulation for brake/slow down lights.

Really dumb question probably, but are piefed communities reachable from lemmy and vice versa?

I only do it when my thumb accidentally hits spacebar instead of the period button right next to it, and I don't care enough to go back and fix it.

To add on, the video is about self hosting, it was not self hosted itself.

Thanks! Yeah I just realized it is back up. It was taken off a few days ago, though, and I'm still curious why.

It also appears to be abandoned, and pro accounts do not verify:

This is actually insane. Their brakes must wear out so fast.

I don't think they illuminate the brake lights, hence my comment. Technology connections has talked about this, although IDK which video it was.

Now that's taking things too far.

But the slow down thing can actually catch drivers by surprise, especially with electric vehicles.

I think they should have it so there's a type of "slow down" light that supplements the brake light for when your deceleration is from taking your foot off the gas.
