Not a problem, since we have Lucas electrics:
The speed of light is reduced when propagating through
a dense medium. Based on the density of the smoke
contained inside the wires that I have seen released,
it's probably around 8-10 inches per second, plenty of
time to get out and observe the rear tail lights.
You can observe this experimentally:
Have someone step on the brake pedal, then watch the
brake lights slowly brighten as the electrons start to
arrive at the bulb.
