Must admit it's very rare indeed I get tailgated indeed. In the rare situation it happens I tend to wave backwards at the guy and put the brake light on a little bit so they get the idea, but I did once drop back beside the car and ask if he wanted to get any closer (that was in a 30 zone commuting into central London, no idea why he was so close, as he couldn't go anywhere!)
That said, I must admit I do come up quite close behind cars on the motorway if they won't pull out of the overtaking lane and I'm trying to get past, give them a while to move out the way, then if they don't move i'll come up closer, and if they don't get the hint then I'll flash them, once they pull over from that I do give them the thumbs up as i overtake them so as not to cause bad feelings.
Of course if they don't pull over despite a few signals if there's space i undertake with the middle finger up and clear off!
