...give them metres more time to react to the fact that you’re slowing down. You’ve heard how LED brake lights illuminate faster than filament lamps to give quicker warning? That certainly helps - but how about lighting the brake lights before you even hit the brake pedal? It’s possible to do this if instead of switching the brake lights on with the action of the brake pedal, you instead activate them when you first lift the throttle really fast.

It’s a technique unfortunately not suitable for manual transmission cars (cos the brake lights would light on every gear-change) but for auto trans cars it works beautifully.

Sounds interesting to me, anyone tried it?
