Wiring switch for reverse lights

How would I go about wiring a switch to turn on my reverse lights?
It really annoys me when people tailgate me, so if I do get tailgated again I want to be able to switch on the reverse lights to scare the crap out of the person behind me..heh
I think it'd be pretty funny to see the reaction of a driver tailgating you and shortly seeing your reverse lights switch on while you're driving 40+ mph..

Would it be hard?

I think it would be better (and easier) to wire a switch to turn your brake lights all on. So when they are tailgating you... you flip the switch and they think you are braking like crazy so they back off.

Whenever I get tailgated I just do a real hard brakecheck and them floor it and that normally reminds them that I could stop in a big hurry. They either flip me off or just back off.

As for the switch you could pick up the reverse switch wire on the tranny and put a switch on that.

When Im getting tailgated I do the same as Zimm... I tap the brakes really quick and then floor it to make sure they dont hit me. They dont like it much, but they have to learn not to tail people that close.
