Well, it works for me. Keep your right foot on the go faster pedal just as normal, and since you're unlikely to be changing gear at the time you're dealing with a tailgating fuckwit just slide the left foot across and tap the brakes lightly for a second or so. Not enough to actually slow you down, but enough to brighten the brakelights.
Of course, the trick I used to use that only worked in my first car was to flip the switch that was the manual reversing light. Amazing how quickly tailgaters find the brakes when they think you're going directly towards them...
However, I'm with you - a big, programmable LED sign with a suitable variety of 'appropriate' messages sounds like a fine idea.
