Nothing is so irritating when your on the highway driving 40 mph in bumper to bumper traffic and your in the center lane and some idiot wants to ride 6 inches from your rear bumper...you want to scream: Where do you want me to GO...there is NO-WHERE to go....Every normal driver hates these a$$-holes.
So this is what I did....I slightly moved up the wind sheild washer directional so that it doesn't hit my wind sheild but rather squirts over the top of my car and hit the guy behind me...oh and I don't put in wind sheild wiper fluid...I use milk.
works like a charm!
I've been doing this for over a year now and I always lose the tail-gater.......they are so busy running their wiper blades trying to get rid of the smears across their glass and they NEVER have a clue where it's coming from.
I bet the bad drivers that read this will be pissed to read this

That is a pretty good idea. It is a lot better than slamming on your brakes and getting a good case of whiplash - Likely a ticket ofr reckless driving and a lawsuit for diriving to endanger. You can also Touch you brakes but above all do not stop suddenly without good cause you YOU will be the fault of the resulting 50 car pile up.
But the milk is a good one. However, I often see people use washers and sometimes, if the wind is head on or going fast, you can see the spray coming over the top of the car and coming toward you. Still - you can put what you want in your reservoir and if they are so close that they get a shower.... Pull back a bit. Nice gambit.

You sound like James Bond; milk to obscure your adversaries vision; maybe you should have a grease gun attached to you rear bumper, to cause the tailgater to slip and slide; or maybe you should have a secret compartment, where you can store tacks and nails, to be released at the push of a button.
If you get into the accident as a result, and a police officer arrives on the scene, you will be viewed as the party at-fault for the accident.
Further, you may be cited and even arrested.
Stick with the slowing down tactic as stated above,

Hello There!
What I always do in that situation is to ease off the gas. Then they have to slam on their brakes and they don't know why! YUP, just very slowly. . .slow down. After a few times of doing this, the jerks pick another lane and go bother someone else.
I do know how you feel, and it is quite scary to look in your rear view mirror and see a car so close behind you. But just slowly taking your foot off the gas alerts them to their dangerous behavior and they either back off, or continue their craziness. Then after a few times of them having to slam on their brakes, the do go away.

Sounds cool, but I hope it doesn't freeze where you live, if it does you are going to have trouble with your washers. Once something water-based is put in them you will have problems forever.
I solved it with a low-mounted 2" ball receiver-type trailer hitch. When they get that close they can't see it and manage to ruin their air dam or bumper. Never yet has one (usually women) wanted to call the cops since it was their fault and my truck was not damaged.

I hate it too, I have a driveway directly after turning a corner so I turn & then have to stop to reverse in but sometimes some idiot who's been riding my **** starts going crazy cos they nearly hit me, but if the had kept the'yre distance they would see my indicator & reverse light which I put on after I stop, then give me space to reverse or drive around me!!! Ugh I'm irritated just thinking about it
HOWEVER, spraying them with milk is wrong beause your hindering they're sight & that's not very good is it...just let them hit you, it will be their fault & they'll have to pay for it!

Take an old computer camera and glue a magnet to the bottom of it. Stick it on your truck when driving. Pull it off when you stop and put it in the trunk. People may think they are being recorded, especially big rigs.

If my headlights aren't already on I turn them on. They usually think I hit the brakes. Also, I slow down to a snail's pace if I'm not in a hurry. : P
