I take my foot off the gas pedal. Eventually, the tailgater passes ya. Then I put my brights on and tailgate him for a bit. See how he likes it.

I do too. But occasionally you get someone slow down even more. If that's the case I put on my brakes. Inevitably I get them to pass and they honk their horn.
Slamming your brakes just causes problems, even if your not at fault you still have to deal with all the bullshit involved with an accident (police, insurance, etc) I think the best thing to do when someone is tailgating you is slow down to like 10mph below the speed limit. People get really pissed, especially if they are in a rush.
Most people I know do this, but I usually just get over in the right lane and let this pass like I expect others to do.
Now if I'm in the right hand lane and they are doing it instead of getting over in the left hand to go around me, well..........Then it's on! @)

tailgating is probably the biggest cause of accidents. Although I drive very fast, I never tailgate.
if somebody is tailgating me, I'll try to let them pass if I can. If I can't, like when there are cars in front of me I can't pass, I'll give him a brake tap and / or maybe give him a you're an idiot hand sign.
