I did follow a Mini on a driving event a few years ago and his LED brake lights were rigged to flash constantly when braking, it did get my attention but got to be annoying also.
If in doubt, flat out. Colin Mc Rae MBE 1968-2007.
Give a car more power and it goes faster on the straights,
make a car lighter and it's faster everywhere. Colin Chapman.

The factory setup for the brake light switch is adjustable to allow the brake lights to come on at the merest hint of a foot on the pedal - if you've been having to press quite hard for them to light up then it's been set wrong or worked loose over time. The lights coming on as you cover the pedal without actually applying any line pressure is actually correct.
You shouldn't have to jury-rig anything to get the lights to come on when resting a foot on the pedal...
The bracket the switch is mounted on slides back and forth to achieve the correct change point.

I've seen a few new cars with the 3 flash then steady break light. I'm sure it's factory....can't recall the make of cars

They also have one that just flashes constant when the brakes are on.

I have not pursued the flashing type but I added a 3rd brake light mounted at the top of my car's rear glass. Hopefully that makes my car more visible to others at a stop.

How to modify. I removed the brake light switch. I put three plastic washers that fully goes to the back. They are a hair over 1/16". Then put the switch back on the mount. Like I said before. It takes 1/8 of an inch for the light to go on. I feel this is much safer. I still hope that distracted drivers see me before it's too late.
If any on knows of the motorcycle brake light that blinks before a full red. I would like to try to make a third rear light out of it. Jim
