We had a local magistate a few years ago who said in court "If lights dazzle me when I'm driving,I just shut my eyes".

Yeh, lets have the whole rear screen light up just like a plasma TV.
Point is that if you make them physically larger, they're far more noticable than if they're just a number of very bright points of light, as these BMWs/Passats etc seem to be at the moment.
Hyundai have the right idea. Large, almost headlight-sized brake lights on some of their cars. Much more visible. Don't have to be hugely bright.

I cannot understand why people who complain of bright brake lights when parked up behind someone in a queue of traffic don't simply just look away instead of staring directly at them.

Whilst I'm not one of those bothered by bright brake lights (fog-lights left on when there's no fog is my bugbear) I'm not sure looking away is the answer. If in a queue of traffic you really want to be watching what's happening further up to avoid the rushed into-gear-jerky-start routine you see many going through (and yes I'm a stickler for handbrake on - footbrake off - out of gear - clutch pedal up when stopped in traffic).

Meant to say, if everyone did this we wouldn't be having this discussion. I have no time for auto drivers who sit with the brakes on in traffic for more than a few seconds either, they're happily wearing their 'box out unnecessarily and it's lazy and bad practice.

Not mine, it drops itself into neutral within 2 seconds of coming to a stop with the brake lights left on.
and it's lazy
Can't argue with that one ;o)
