2nd caliper on rear brakes

[Footbag]

Thanks guys for confirming that the calipers were indeed the e-brake/parking brake.

that's interesting because it's all fun and games to wreck a tailgaiter's day by suddenly slowing with no brake lights

Of course I don't suggest doing that in a Tesla.. but feel free to sacrifice any lesser car

A word of caution. If you are rear ended with out brake lights, you could be found responsible in both criminal and civil court. A truck driver did something similar one time, after announcing his/her intentions and it led to a fatal accident. The truck driver ended up in state prison. Have you ever tried putting it in neutral and coasting for a while. Or maybe just move over and let the SOB, go on his/her merry way.
