Some will tailgate no matter how fast he is driving and there is nothing practical other than letting them by or getting out of their way that will aleviate that fact. This isn't an ideal world, and expecting people to do what you expect or what they should do just isn't going to happen.

Not too long ago I had a bad tailgater we were doing just under to just above the speed limit on a windy mountain road. As soon as I could I got out of the way and let them by. Less than 1 mile later they got pulled over, we had a good laugh at their expense.

I agree, just wish more would pass when they is 1 mile + of no traffic lol.

The only time I had something like that happen is when I was behind a van going slow (b4 ecomodder days, so probably 50-55mph) and the guy behind us couldn't wait the 1/2 mile to pass, so they passed in the left turn lane in a school zone and probably was speeding. Well, the one behind them passed as well, after they both got buy everyone.... lights came on and we had fun passing them .
