Look to get out of their way, move over, pull over, whatever, and try to let them past.

I like to imagine that anyone who is tailgaiting me is a bomb-defusal tech on their way to defuse a bomb at an orphanage for blind children. Then I get out of their way and wish them god speed to their vital mission! "Go save those blind orphans, you goddam hero!"

That only works for you because you already care about other people's life. To the typical road vigilante, an orphanage full of blind children means nothing compared to their sacred lane they were tasked to protect.

Oh yeah, there's a lot of badass action hero types saving the world on a daily basis, it really restores my faith in humanity.
