I'm telling myself that the next time I find myself in a road with nothing ahead, doing the speed limit and still have tailgators I'll get into the first subroad or parking place and let them all by, if possible wait for a big rig or other excuse to go slow to follow it

Since making this plan I never came in that situation again, as if by magic.
Apparently you just need to have the plan

Most of the time I'm on a multilane highway and tailgaters are not very common, just the 'phoneys' that need all of their attention for talking and the occasional other fuel saving geek.

For confirmation go to people just like you.
For education go to people unlike yourself.
