Brake light blinking intermittently

Error: Brake lights on AI car were blinking intermittently just outside Frankfurt.

I was behind a car just entering "5" highway coming from Frankfurt at night, and its brake lights started to blink intermittently, almost in at a stroboscopic rate. When I pressed F10 to take pictures, the blinking stopped.

Thanks for reporting.
You cannot take pics of events happening over a period of time. You need to make a video, to show that.

Yep, I know that but happened too fast

Not a bug. All trucks simulated have ABS, so it brakes intermittently to avoid wheel locking.

They do not flicker, no matter if you have ABS or not, even if you don't have brakes at all!

I do not know if it differs in trucks to the cars, but I saw they do flicker in cars of some make.

I am sorry, but I was not able to reproduce. Could you please attach picture with the marked place on map? Maybe there is something in road.

erkinalp: I think that you are not right. ABS is working only when hard braking - to avoid blocking wheels. And no matter, if you brake with or without ABS, brake lights should lit during braking whole time. If you have any information to this and I am not correct, feel free to let me know =)

I have to disagree with you, as the light is not triggered by the brake pads on the brake disk, but by either a switch located under the pedal lever (direct actuation) or electronically by the car's computer. They do not flicker, no matter if you have ABS or not, even if you don't have brakes at all!
