[Roadsters] Kluge brakelight switch

[Daryl Smith]

While I really like the idea of a mercury switch, possibly in parallel with 
the standard brakelight switch, The abundance of hills in this area would 
mean the brake lights could be on almost 50% of the time (every downhill, 
brakes applied or not!)
Might be a good idea for you flatlanders, but not so practical in very hilly 
or mountainous terrain IMHO.
But then again, it could help keep the tailgaters a bit further 
away...............
