I don't agree with pulsing brake lights or having them on when at a standstill, like other failed methods we lower the responsibility of those posing the threat, we absolve them and try to put in yet more idiot proof tech to overcome the negligence and it never works to prevent dangerous/reckless driving, it just mitigates it, same as with medi care, you can now fix vastly more injuries than yesteryear but it again is putting a band-aid on a deeper rooted problem.
what will they do if others don't pulse their brakes or keep their foot on the brake pedal?
Do we not invite the, 'well he wasn't pulsing his brake lights so i crashed into the back of him', isn't this exactly the same reasoning that CTC used in the 20s for not wanting rear lights on bicycles, so that you forced the drivers to drive at a speed they could stop well within the distance you could see to be clear, if that speed is 5mph then so be it. Isn't hi-vis and helmets yet another failed measure to counteract dangerous driving, DRLs, bigger/heavier/wider motorvehicles all to solve a problem and yet we still have a million road deaths solely at the hands of the killers in boxes and yet a vast swathe of those deaths the victim will be blamed for not doing x, Y, or Z to mitigate the actions of the killer.
Even judges in the highest courts are in on this victim blaming culture (and many further down the chain) and it stems from the failure to address the real issues/root cause. The police won't bother prosecuting dangerous/speeding drivers in poor weather conditions, the mass pile up on the bridge in
Kent is ample proof of that.
Whilst fully automated vehicles with infra red/'night specs' could solve some of the problem (at night/fog) this relies on the motoring industry programming vehicles to take the necessary steps to avoid collision at all costs but also governments to force manufacturers to have the same level of system and for the level of inbuilt safety to be higher, much, much higher than what humans are currently doing when operating motorised vehicles.
