If I get a tailgater, they are being an ass. I usually drive 5-10 over the posted anyway, and I don't hang out in the passing lane any longer than I have too unless I am REALLY flying by slower traffic.
I just slowly start ticking down on the cruise control until I am about 5 UNDER the posted. If they still want to tailgate, I just kick it off and coast down until the pass, then let them gaze at the wonder of my high beams if its dark enough.
My last car, I bought some cheap LED break lights at a truck stop, they were clear when off, and mounted them inside the rear hatch towards to top of the window. I wired them on a 3 position switch, OFF, ON, ON with BRAKES.
I could "brake check" them without touching the brakes. And if that didn't give them the hint, I'd just leave them on, they were blinding!
