Nope. Crash data show the central 3rd brake light significantly reduces crashes, even decades after the novelty effect wore off. This is why it's a good thing car light specifications are based on data, not guesses.
If you want to be safer install strobe brake lights.
…which are illegal and unsafe, so no, don't do that (looks like it's an especially good thing car light specifications aren't based on your guesses, eh! LOL)
