My normal response to someone behind like that is to slowly drift over the the right side of lane 3 and over the white line....
As soon as the front of their car starts getting peppered with stones and all sorts of other crud, I find they drop back fairly rapidly.Comment

My view is - why bother.
Some other idiot is probably just having a bad day. By challenging them you're just lowering yourself to their level.

Phoned the police and gave them the number plate. Registered to a completely different make of car.

Would never risk driving without a dashcam. I went around a bend that was like 150 degrees at night the other day. Crawled around quite slow because I am a sensible driver. Drunken idiot on his bike with no lights wearing all black on the wrong side of the road turning the bend. Was able to stop before I crushed him due to my slow speed.
Dashcam caught it all, and would have helped had I ran over the stupid idiot.
And that was going 5 mins up the road to the shops.
Definitely recommended.Unless you're the lead dog, the scenery never changes.
