Default Want an Anti-Tail Gate Switch? Heres how!

<P>So, I want a button that if I am being tail gated i can just flick the switch, watch the guy behind me hammer his breaks as I scoot off and leave him in frustration I am looking for instructions on how to do this, please note that this switch is desigend to stop people who tail gate in rush hour traffic, I FULLY respect the left most lane as the passing lane. This switch is also good at keeping people behind you from mimicing you break patterns. </P>
<P> </P>
<P>I have a 2001 honda civic 4dr</P>
<P>any help would be appreciated</P>

I saw a nice set of instructions on a forum the other week but completly lost the link, all my web searches end up with me finding either this idea except restated, or tailgate's for trucks.</P>
