How about a switch on the dashboard which turns on your brake lights when
being tailgated?  Easy to install, because the standard switch is located
on the brake master cylinder, a few inches away from your foot.

Just for laughs, you might want to put another switch in parallel with the
backup lights.  Sometimes the switch for this is located in the mechanism
directly underneath your gearshift lever; on other cars it may be located
in the transmission.
