I've people tailgate me and then switch lanes when I do. I think there's a certain species of moron out that only feels comfortable when they're snugged right up against someone. I'll get people tailgating me in my VW's - no matter how close you get to me, the thing ain't going any faster.
Had a guy in a big 4x4 tailgating me on a surface street just last week. I had no available lane to change to, so I just gradually slowed down until I was doing 25 or so. I timed it so that when I came up to the next light, I nailed it and squeaked through the yellow; he started to go for it, then thought twice at the last second and stopped about 1/2 a truck length in the intersection.
