If I have a particularly aggressive driver on my tail at the start of the downhill I'll hit the gas on the way down the hill and meet him on my tail on the next light (I only do this if they hit the horn to try to pass me up the hill). Yesterday, a big Ford truck was laying on his horn to pass me in town (even cut me off to get in front of me) and then at the next light I gave him a scooter "two beep" on the horn to ruffle his feathers and let him know he saved 0.0 seconds vs. me on his hurried commute!

I just thought of a little social experiment you could try:
Get a rifle case for an ATV and mount it on your scooter across the back, maybe add a NRA sticker too for those who don't know what the case is for.
It might get them thinking you're a bit nuts and give you some space
You could also change your route abit to avoid your hill of death.
