I just drop it into 2nd gear...no lights needed.

That’s what I do when I see a radar cop and don’t want him to see me slowing down. When a guy is on your bumper, the goal is exactly the opposite. I want him to think I’m slamming on my brakes when, in reality I’m only getting the nose to dive and tail to life.

But like I said, I’ve only done that once and it called for it. I’ve not come close to explaining the circumstances under which I did it. I will say again that if I see a guy pointing a gun at me from inside a car, my first impulse would be to ram him off the road (unless I’m in my FR-S, of course. In which case I’d slam on the brakes while dropping it into 3rd, do a 180 and get the heck out of there.

I have often thought about this, and one solution is to mount a couple 1,000,000 watt lamps in the back aimed to the rear so any tailgater gets extreme illumination in their eyes for tailgating.
