Kids these days never heard of line lock

According the Consumer Reports article, some drivers have regenerative braking set more aggressively than they really want, and so keep their foot slightly on the accelerator while slowing. This is bad driving; they should adjust their braking so they don't have to do that.

A similar problem with gas cars happens when a driver has one foot on the gas pedal and one on the brake, causing the brake lights to come on unnecessarily (and wearing out the brakes).

You use the brake pedal evertime you are at a stop anyway... the car does not stop if the gas pedal remains depressed at all since regeneration goes away when you are at a stop.

Also... I only flash my brake lights at terrible drivers who feel the need to tailgate me. It seems there are a lot of those.

as for my tail lights flashing because of one pedal driving. This is very obviously not the fault of the driver since they are simply... driving... as the car is designed. This is the fault of manufacturer(s) and regulators being allowed to do whatever they want, and only fix a problem if enough people die.

Which means that any EV driver flashing their brake lights is likely jerking themselves back and forth inside their cars too. I treat them like any other driver flashing their brake lights, i.e. terrible drivers that need to be avoided.

PS: FWIW I suspect that one-pedal driving is actually poor design, because people who habitually use it tend to forget that they *have* a brake pedal at all, so they are less likely to stomp on it for an emergency stop.

I really liked how the bolt did regen brakes with a flappy paddle behind the steering wheel.

If I had my way, I would say letting off the go pedal in an EV would regen brake to the extent that a standard compression engine could slow, WITHOUT BRAKE LIGHTS.

If you need more regen, then you get the top 10% of the brake pedal or something before the hydraulics engage. Or use a flappy paddle like the bolt for extra braking that will engage the brake lights.

I'm going to stop before I waste the day yelling at the clouds.

This is a "one pedal" issue, as most EVs i share the road with tend to flash brakes for no reason whatsoever. #Why are EV drivers letting off the go pedal at any given point on the freeway? who knows, but they flash their brake lights once every few hundred feet for no reason at all.

I have three pedals, so one pedal driving to me does not mean using a combo go/stop pedal.

Roundabouts ... IN MY MURICA?@!

NW Ohio drivers on roundabouts have to be the absolute worst.

Toledo needs to learn how to fucking drive.
