The issue is that it's much easier to attach a bumper sticker than it is to remove one. In their political zeal they're super eager to slap that bad boy all over the bumper, but after the election. Who wants to sit in their driveway with a blow dryer trying to soften the adhesive?

Goo-gone. And also that's why the only bumper stickers I'd get would be for elections 8 years in the future, with fictional characters. Beavis/Butthead '24 "TP For Everyone's Bunghole"

This is why I (1) don't put stupid stickers on my rides and (2) only put stickers on glass. If I want it gone, I go nuts with a utility knife blade and finish off the adhesive with a rag and some acetone. If you have factory paint (or good quality cc/bc urethane or whatever, not rattle can or single stage lacquer) you can probably just rip the sticker off and use rags and acetone to remove the adhesive. Goo gone is safer, acetone is way way faster and I am impatient and haven't melted the paint off my cars with it yet.

That bothers me less than the flashing brake lights. I get that it's safer and almost 100% necessary for motorcycles, I just don't want the drat things to flash every time they tap the brakes. At least make it so that only the third light flashes unless the brake pedal is depressed far and fast. That way, the back of the car isn't a light show every time it has to turn Maybe it's their weird strobe patterns, but I really do not like those lights...

But it was just the turn signal flashing. The strobing on the actual brake lights was because of the camera shutter speed and the PWM controller handling the LED brightness - the brake lights will appear solidly lit if you look at it in person. You'll see it any time you snap a daytime photo (or take daytime video) of a car with LED daytime running lights and/or LED brake lights, while the longer shutter speeds required for darker photography (i.e. outside after dark) will mask it considerably more. You can just barely notice it out of the corner of your eye in person, and only if you're really looking for it.

Some older Cadillacs have a really annoying flicker and some Passats have a barely noticeable flicker. Not everyone can see it though. In fact I'd say it's a pretty small percentage.

The worst car stuff is seeing something shiny and chrome a quarter mile or so up the road from you and wanting to get close enough to scope it out but red lights keep getting in the way and generating a bigger gap.
