Yes, tell them to ride properly. Also sounds like they're too close to you as well. So save your money....

Apart from echoing that your friends are riding too close/not paying attention, have a look here:

Is that the same thing? I thought that other unit was to make the brake lights flash if your braking exceeded a certain G threshold. Not sure it would work just under engine braking.

Maybe not but if the engine braking is severe enough to make other bikes following 'overcook' it then I'm expecting enough G's to trigger it...

I thought about it once, then realised how annoying driver constantly dabbing their brakes are. And chances are that's how it would look like.
