Gee, I already have this switch on all my cars.  It doesn't turn the 
lights on constantly, but flashes them.  It's the emergency flasher.
I've used this on occasion when being tailgated, and it generally is
effective.  If the animals really want to tailgate, they ignore it but
it doesn't hack them off too badly.  (What's worse than a tailgater?
A mad tailgater.)  If they were just absent-mindedly following too
closely, it gets their attention and they back off.
