Well obviously they're essential but when you're sitting at traffic lights on stop do you really need to keep your foot on the brake pedal? cussing:
A regular journey I take involves passing through, let me see, seven sets of lights and just my luck they were all on red ::), made worse by the fact of the Audi in front of me whose driver sat on the brake lights at every stop.
Red hot pokers from the bottom of Beelzebub searing into my eyes evil:, a trio of blazing red lights forming a diabolic triangle of hate evil:; yes that array of bulbs atop the rear window as well.
Enough! cussing:

You really shouldn't venture out - it is no good for your blood pressure
-
But I have to get out from time to time sad24:
Besides, brake lights are small beer compared to some folks woes, and a vent on here reduces the pressure ;) . The problem with brake lights occurs when they're at eye height for the driver behind noooo:

I think you'll find that the offending cars are automatics - rather than put the car into "Park", they (and I include myself here redface:) simply hold it on the foot brake. If you do put it into park, you generally have to go through reverse to get to "Drive". This means that the poor sods behind suddenly see your reversing lights go on - and that can put the wind up them.

Absolute pet hate of mine too Pasties. evil:
I've ranted about this very topic on several motoring forums, and most are in agreement. You get home virtually blinded with a banging 'ed some nights.
It's not just autos either, but the general public sheepies that are simply too bloody bone idle and thoughtless to pull that strange lever up called THE HANDBRAKE. Banghead

Interesting point, and I think you're probably right. In my case the auto sequence is:
P
R
N
D
so I slip from D into N without passing R.
Oh, and Growler, it's Pastis, the anise-flavoured liqueur not Pasties the adhesive nipple tassles or the Cornish foodstuff ::)

I've got to admit it is one of the funniest things when you see someone being hurled backwards of a treadmill - never fails to make me laugh - then I struggle not to fall off as well.
Oh yeah, the incline bit can fun as well.
I tried the "cardio" setting one time, never again - somehow or other my weight/age/etc combination confused the damned contraption, and it started to achieve the vertical, whilst telling me to walk/run faster. Mrs Tel was wetting herself with laughter and I was hanging on for dear life, too scared to let go to hit the stop/slow button - never again.

I usually go for the Random setting, enter those personal details, ( carefully looking around so no one can see lol: ) set the time limit and then throw the towel over the display ..that way I can't see what the hell the evil machine has in store and start panicking a minute before it expects me to run up the side of a mountain eeek:

I set speed to 6.1 Kph and max incline is usually around 4.
Death ride went to an of 12 and was still climbing!

Correct. I absolutely luv pasties...and pies, so yes, it's a term of manly endearment like.
I get a so much better vision of you in me mind with a name like pasties. cloud9:
