How does one turn off the brake lights in a high speed police chase?

The only way I can think of is pulling the fuse or taking out the bulbs...

People mod their cars.

You can put toggle switches into control headlights, interior lights, etc.

He must be one heck of a mechanic to do that while driving!

The only other way I can think of is to use the parking brake for braking. I don’t know how you do that during a high-speed chase without dying, though.

I had a toggle that put Tranny fluid to run though a windshield wiper pump to inject into the carb for a smoke screen

The John Kilpatrick Turnpike is a toll road in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The turnpike forms a partial loop from that runs from SW 15th Street in the west to an interchange with Interstate 35 and I-44 in the east. Wikipedia
