MOA Magazine ON references a recall- Some BMW's sold in USA have a safety feature in which the brake light flashes in an emergency stop. This is a good thing- yes? NOOOOO- Federal Motor Vehicle Standard 108 states that brake lights must be "steady burning". Other than the fact that the regulation is a fact- why is this emergency flash a bad thing? I have a brake light on my Triumph (and my RT that flashes three times before it burns steady and I feel safer for it. Most safety inspectors ignore it- except for one annoying guy- he actually lends me a screwdriver and a stock bulb and I change it- he puts the sticker on and I change it back. Needless to say I've changed my inspection guy. (This is on my Triumph) the BMW flash was actually dealer installed. I can be a self-righteous pric* but I'm willing to listen to reasons that this feature is a dangerous thing...school me.
