Random braking
Discussion
Having racked up a few more motorway miles that usual recently i've observed what seems to be a strange new phenomenon. Driver/cars brakelights showing for no apparent reason. All appear to be newer cars both ICE and leccy powered, not a specific manufacturer and even seems to occur when they badly attempt to overtake someone, I thought it may be some be some kinda cruse control thing, but for the love of god it makes people look like incompetent morons trundling along riding the brake pedal. Any ideas?
Interesting responses folks, I'm a subscriber to the brakes to slow, gears to go mantra - and so engine braking is not in my skillset 
I do however quite like the coasting feature in my 535i eco pro mode that essentially sticks the gearbox into neutral and the engine drops to idle if you come off the pedals for more than a couple of seconds. Personally I'd be mortified if my car was doing crazy stuff with the brake lights and annoying fellow road users behind me!
