When I worked at Signature L/M, we used this thing called "Red Alert". It was a small realy we tapped into the 3rd brake light. I would make it blink about 10 times everytime you hit the brakes. The State police in this area use it on all their vehicles.

It cost about $30 for it.

We use to tell the customer that research showed people had become compliant with the 3rd brake light since it's introdcution in 1986 and people have started to ignore them. This flashing option would attract the attention of the person behind you and will help prevent a rear end collision.

The company that sold them even had a guarentee that if you car was hit from behind, they would pay up to $1,500 in damages or something like that.
