I was reminded how many times I have had to fix the wiring on my brake pedal switches, which is placed on the moving arm of the brake pedal.

On a two lane highway a pickup was ahead of me and unknown to me was stopped without stop lights. At the time may vehicles had standard transmissions, so this woman driver was just sitting on the highway without turn signal or brake lights and out of gear, fortunately I only dinged my steel bumper.
