進を開始させるようにできる。In the vehicle brake lamp device according to the present invention, the brake lamp can be kept lit for several seconds after the brake pedal is released, so that the front vehicle can press the accelerator pedal within this time. You can start to start by moving to enough. Further, since the brake light of the preceding vehicle is still lit on the following vehicle, it is possible to call attention to refrain from starting and to start the vehicle when the preceding vehicle has advanced to some extent.
