Yikes! Easy with the shouting.
I always use the brake pedal, for extra control. Although it has to be said that the emergency braking system in my car once responded fractionally quicker than I did, and the brake pedal was already depressed when I got to it. Even when the car is slowing itself ‘cos I’m decelerating e.g. for a junction, my foot is hovering over the pedal to apply more pressure when it’s needed.
The question was whether the lights come on, nobody mentioned relying on the system for normal braking.
