I never really had the need to do this, but you can just turn on your
parking lights for a second or two.  Believe it or not, most drivers
aren't alert enough to notice that the "third light" (if you have one)
doesn't come on.

Of course, if it's an obnoxious sumbitch behind you, just slam on the
brakes for real! As far as insurance companies are concerned, the clown
behind you is to blame no matter what the cause of any collision that
might result.
