Being discreet during acceleration is understandable and harmless.
But I fail to see any benefit in not attracting attention to deceleration except if your goal is to create an accident...
Is speeding a crime? Granted that is not the same as discreet acceleration, but I hope you can understand the association. That said, I do quite enjoy discreet acceleration!
Is stopping without brake lights a crime? Not to my knowledge. Of course it is generally unsafe.
Stopping without brake lights (dead battery, jump start to get home, car dies on the way home, no lights) brought an end to my 1989 Honda CRX. I didn't even have time to get out before I was rear ended.
I still want the
freedom to choose to stop without brake lights. There may be a situation where such an action is best. Street smarts safety is my specific concern. I won't go into details, but it involves being the victim of a violent crime in my past. I hope you can understand that I feel strongly about this and why, but not so strongly to completely ditch my Chevy Spark EV over it. In the end, I did survive both cases.
