It's the same as engaging the handbrake while driving. If someone rear ends you when you do that it is your fault, not theirs.

The expectation is that if you reduce speed at a rate associated with braking that your brake lights should come on.

I strongly agree that the brake lights should come on in B-mode. That doesn't happen on the Leaf or on the Volt. That is however a different matter and it should be the law. But B-mode with brake lights is a fine idea.
