Hopefully more than just a split second before the crash.
Just saying I don't think any light all by itself is going to get the potentially oblivious rear driver's attention away from the cell phone or texting until he/she decides to look at the road again.
That's why, when I apply the brakes, and during the time I'm stopped, even in my modern vehicle, I glance in the rear view mirror to see what's coming behind me, and if I'll have to try to perform some evasive maneuver so they'll hit the car in front of me instead (as if a slowing or stopped Model A could respond to anything like that with sufficient agility).
Frankly, I wish the technology existed to disable a mobile device so that it can't be used for texting while an automobile is in motion. I suppose many won't agree with that.
