Generally, I'll tap the brake lights on a bit while slowing down, giving longer and longer taps gradually depending on circumstances.

'tapping' the brake lights can and does get people done for dangerous/inconsiderate driving here. Brake lights should only be illuminated when your footbrake is actually on, e.g. slowing or stopped with it on. Otherwise it can cause serious incidents due to people slamming on assuming they're going to hit you (yes, I know they're in the wrong here, but...).

For someone so obsessed with road safety I thought you'd have know the dangers, both legal and physical, of doing this?
