According to the Technical Regulations of the Customs Union “On the safety of wheeled vehicles”, an additional brake signal on cars equipped with it is mandatory by the manufacturer.
If it does not work, the use of the vehicle is prohibited under paragraph 3.3 of the relevant Malfunction List (appendix to the Basic Regulations for the admission of vehicles to traffic and the duty of the official to ensure road safety).
Fogging of the rear lights, if this does not affect their performance, does not prevent further use of the car.
