I have 2 stories like these to add...

1st: Involved my Grandad a long time ago...He was driving in a BMW he owned at the time, in the dark along highway 5 near Waterdown. He had someone in a big Chevy Estate Wagon with the wood panels down the sides of it pull up right tight behind him, leaving their highbeams (read 4 lamp system, oldschool style) on. They tailgated him for several kilometers, without bothering to pass him when there was space and time. This continued until he got to hwy's 5&6, where he caught a red light. While the light was red, he got out of his car, calmly walked back to his trunk, and pulled out either a tire iron or a crowbar (can't remember which), and turned around and smashed all of the headlights on the wagon behind him. Then, he put the bar back in the trunk, casually walks back to the door, gets in, and drives away, with the driver of the wagon sitting stunned in the lane behind him with smashed lights. He never heard anything from or about this scenario afterwards.

2nd: Involved my dad when he was my age, and he had a 70 Datsun 240Z that was a sleeper/hot rod eater. He had a cop try to pull him over on highway 52 near Copetown, and when the cop insisted he pull over (cop was tailgating him), he decided to be a smart-ass and shut the car down REALLY fast. The cop almost slid into his rear end with all 4 wheels locked, and the nose of the car dipped down almost a foot. Needless to say the cop wasn't amused, and my dad simply stated his car could stop that fast, and the cop was tailgating him and having a pushy attitude. My dad got off with only a couple of verbals for speeding, and for when he stopped "too fast"...lol
