I would not care for the legal ramifications of that action myself...

Unfortunately, it does not work well with a stock Bugeye, but I have
found that about the only thing I can do to deter a tailgater is to
rest my left foot on the brake just enough to activate the brake
lights, and JUST LEAVE IT THERE. After a few miles, they seem to
realize that they have no way of knowing what you are going to do and
it starts to make them nervous; especially if you have done some
acceleration and decelleration exercises. If I were to have enough
issues with this in my Bugeye, I  would be tempted to add a toggle
switch that simply turns the brake lights on (with a telltale light to
remind me).

Otherwise, few drivers will tolerate doing 10mph under the posted
limit for very long. Neither will I, for that matter ;-)
