Why I've  even been known to flash my brake lights several times before 
hitting the  brakes just to hopefully get the attention of people in back of  
me.

Gee, I have even been known to depress the brakes with my left foot just  
enough to light the brake lights, going into a sharp hairpin turn on the race  
track to 'advise' following cars to back off early and give me a bit more  
lead.... :-)
 
But seriously, the use of signals, stopping at stop signs and generally  
obeying the rules of the road are mandatory not optional so that you don't need  
to obey them when no one else is around. I see people all the time drifting  
right through stop signs. Unless they develop the habit of stopping every danged 
 time they won't have the reflex to do so when it really matters and they 
didn't  see the kid on his bike in the way or the pedestrian.
