Back about 1971, I had a car that came without backup lights, so I added a set of J.C. Whitney backup lights. Those lights were about as bright as yard tractor headlights, and connected to a toggle switch.
I was driving at the speed limit in the right lane of a divided highway one night when somebody came up behind and tailgated closely at less than half a car length. I flipped the backup lights on and off, then checked the rear view. He was on the brakes so hard he was almost dragging his front bumper.
These days, I give them one or two flashes of the 4-way flasher. Usually that works. If it does not, I EOC until they pass.
