Kinda makes sense, "im just gonna hit the brakes WACK goes the car up your ass cos he didn't have a clue you were braking"
But then its common sense, so being in the UK, its probably not the case.

Oh I agree completely; having nearly rear ended a cage who didn't have working brake lights I think you'd be nuts not to, even if it wasn't a "requirement". If I was ever riding a track bike without one on the road I would be leaving an awful lot of stopping distance and giving lots of "slow down" hand signals. I don't think I'd ever actually build a road bike without them, even if it's allowed.
