I tend to focus on 3rd brake lights more because they seem to last longer than the side brake lights. Also it could be because I'm looking through the car in front of me to watch the visible brake lights of the car in front of them.

Look at all the cars where the third brake light are automatically on flashers now. I admit to noticing them while not ever "noticing" normal 3rd brake lights consciously anymore.

And How long till we stop noticing those ?

This is another pull over from the motorcycle world .. tho not a standard thing or regulated I know guys that have been putting modulators on bike brake lights since the 90's at least.

Same here .. and will mess me up when they have a burnt out one LOL !!

I think I spend more time looking at the car in front of the car I'm behind then the car in front of me .. and boy do I hate cars that I can't see around ( cargo vans with no windows some SUV's or anything with super dark tint and too wide to see around)
