New brake light idea

[Grahamm]

Out of interest, how do drivers know what this means?

If the rate of deceleration indicates a normal braking scenario, the Vololights’ two rows of four red LEDs will flash alternately at a rate of two times per second – this just alerts drivers to the fact that the motorcycle is slowing. If the bike decelerates very quickly, however, the lights will flash five times a second, letting drivers know that they have to react fast in order to avoid an accident

I think the idea is that it gets their attention (a flashing light is more noticable to the human eye than a steady one).

I've seen a couple of cars (presumably imports) where, if the driver pushes hard on the brakes, will flash the brake lights several times before having them come on constantly, however I believe such systems are not legal for cars manufactured in the UK at the moment as the MOT requires a "steady brake light".
