If you are on a 1 lane road, car infront of you slow... you just ignore the back lar. Just concentrate on the front. As you said , you can't do much, so why bother break testing the fler at the back. Every time you do that, you are bound to shift your concentration to the back as well, right? so you don't over-test him into an accident... You get pist, your blood pressure naik, you want him to stop, he keep irrtating you... on a wrong day, he might be a gangster/roadbully who then teaches you a different lesson etc... Just too much dramas la if you ask me.
Try this, just IGNORE him. Don't even look at your rear mirror if you dont have too. S/He can only tail gate you so much without getting a response from you before he either :
1) Gets bored, stop his antics and accept he is not going to get ANY response from you because you obviously can;t do much if there is more cars infront of you
2) Try to overtake you from the grass....
If works for me la... it also works if you have a small kid who throws tantrums when s/he doesn't get their way. After you ignore them for awhile, they will behave. Ha ha

There is a wise saying that reads "Never argue or compete with an idiot. He will bring you down to his level.... and beat you with experience".
