  Another reason due to that at night when the headlights of the cars was switched on, the back light is on too (dim light). Though when stepped on the brakes, the brake light will be brighter but some people will just tend to misque it, and its very dangerous. Some old cars dim and bring brake light got not much difference, which is worst still. That's why they need a 3rd brake light. You won't miss it one.

  The 3rd light issue was started by Malaysia during the 1990s.... Actually in singapore you do not need a 3rd brake light installed... however in Malaysia the 3rd light is compulsory. Becos of the frequently of singapore cars entering into malaysia that why the 3rd brake light came into place...... Actually quite useful also being that it is difficult to differtiate the lights with the brake lights..... you can try doing it to you car without looking at the 3d light and you will know what I meant......
