If I see something sort of hazardous ahead if I'm driving along, I will brake to slow down and then tap on the brakes several times in rapid succession. the tapping indicates to the car behind me that something is up. Our van has a brake light in the middle of the rear window as well as on the sides. (My hope is they react as if that the driver [me] did not jsut slam on the brakes for no reason; flashing red lights generally startle people to become more alert from driver-haze, or cell phone distractions.
I want the driver to instinctively react by really slowing down (and not rear ending me!) and not try to pass me because they think I am too slow. There is a real hazard ahead.
Incidentally, when I drive I am generally scanning up and down the road pretty far ahead. I guess the tapping thing would only work if you were looking far ahead too.
These things I've posted are tips over the years from a friend who has taken probably $8k-$10k in stunt driving lessons. I think his instructors made them study safe driving stuff too.
