Means how the top center brake light is also lit up, I think you’re right.

How do we know this isn’t just someone on the brake where one bulb has blown?

I think you two are too European to understand this.
The US and Canada allows blinking a brake light to act as a turn signal. It’s absolutely stupid, I know.

Although it’s dumb, it doesn’t rule out the theory. But yes America is… Something

It’s the exact pace of a turn signal, it’s how they work over here.

Parson what? How does this work? How do you k ow which way they are turning?
isVeryLoud@lemmy.ca 8 months ago
If the light is positioned on the left of the vehicle and is blinking, they are turning left. Vice versa for right.
If you want to check whether they are signaling or tapping their brakes, look at the CHMSL. Yes, it’s stupid. Bad regulations allow for this, and this is cheaper for manufacturers, so they will do it.

I didn’t know this wasn’t standard everywhere. TIL.

A lot of countries require indicators to be amber. The fact that they can be red in the USA is weird.

It’s a video in case you are just looking at the still picture.
