The trouble with even tapping the brake pedal briefly is the idiot who is tailgating you just ramps up their anti social behavior. I don't do it anymore.
Road rage is rare around here, but I recall an incident about 20 years ago while approaching town a small pickup with a wooden body caught up with a big speed differential and matched speed less than a vehicle length behind. I tapped the brake lights to ask him to back off. About 100 yards later, he whipped by on a double solid line and locked his brakes. I saw the rear wheels stop momentarily. By that time we were into the town speed limit so I was able to avoid collision.
My wife copied the plate number and we stopped at the police station but no one was in. We did not persue the matter further.
Be safe out there.
