Another thing, besides watching your mirrors while stopped, is to NOT stop in the middle of the lane. Stay to one side. Besides giving you a little more wiggle room, it gives the car driver someplace to go if he happens to notice you at the last second but doesn't have room to stop.
I've taken the opposite tack when there are cars ahead of me, I stop in the middle about 25 feet back. That gives me the option of going either way around the car in front of me and some room to maneuver.
The important thing is to always give yourself a way out in every situation. How you do it is up to you.
I've also put additional lights on the back that flash when braking.
We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.
