 And another new form of aggression - idle_chatterer
Years ago (2000 ish) when my company paid for a defensive driving course I was told to leave a bigger gap from the car in front when being tailgated (to allow a greater slowing down 'buffer'). Then to get out of their way as soon as practical 'so that they can move on and become someone else's problem'.

Another tip is to wash your windscreen, the resultant spray on their windscreen will cause a natural reaction to back off, in practice I find that this only provides a temporary respite from their idiocy and you have to be careful not to aggravate such reckless people.

I have to admit that when tailgated I fastidiously stick to the posted speed limit.
