Let me stand up here publically and announce that I actually LIKE the
CHMSL (third brake light). When in fairly heavy but moving traffic,
they allow you to see the brake lights of the car five cars ahead of
you, whereas before 1986 you could only see the brake lights of the
car directly in front of you. (Of course, the inexplicable SUV craze
has destroyed this benefit -- you can see neither through nor around
them from a normal car, dammit.)

I've never seen these things, but I agree, they sound a bit silly.
Perhaps it's for the moron left foot brakers who ride the brake
constantly or something?
