Foot on the brake for me unless I can see I'm going to be stopped for any length of time, when driving the Jag that is,(auto).
When people in front of me do the same I couldn't care less as I have a life.

I'm assuming PHers with sensitive eyes must never venture into Central London where driving is s procession from traffic light to traffic light. No-one uses their handbrake.
tting, to hide their smaller than average tackle...

Same.
Then I wait for PH to explode in a "Oooh, my ickle sensitive eyes" frothing.

But going by the 3 hire cars (for the long motorway hauls) that have had it fitted, Stop Start does need the foot brake to work... selecting neutral in some cases results in a "Stop/Start Unavailable at this time" message on the dash board.
I think my A7's stop start is based on the brake pedal. Certainly if you use neutral + handbrake the engine starts as soon as you release the pedal.I'm not certain as I've not had it that long, but I think it may keep the engine off if you use park. It seemed to do just that today, but it was a delayed switch off as the car was warming up, and needed to restart less than 0.5 seconds later as traffic started moving again.

you can drive IN London!Unsurprisingly, people perceive light differently and the majority of the population have problems dealing with contrast when it comes to dealing with bright lights at night. I think it's super that some of you don't have a problem with sitting behind people with their brake lights on but you're in the minority. The attitude of 'it doesnt affect me so thats ok' is also really, really great.

WGAF about the pleb behind? Seriously?Willy Nilly said:
I really don't see what the problem is. If I'm know I'm going to be stopped a while I'll put it in neutral and put the hand brake on, but mostly I sit with my foot on the brake. People must have very delicate eyes if brake lights hurt them.
It's mostly at night when the car in front has LED lights that glare can become a problem. The old style incandescent lamps where ok.Urban Sports said:

And this nicely summarises the root of the problem. Do you find you get any dizziness as the world revolves around you?Edited by Mr2Mike on Saturday 22 November 22:38

So the crux of this problem is that far too many drivers are using our roads with uncorrected defective eyesight.
Yup, pretty much.Lights dazzle some drivers, including me.
Some know this and don't give a Shiite.
Some know this and are considerate drivers.
Some are DH,s don't give a toss for anyone else on the roads.
Some drivers are basically idiots.
