Tailgaters, what do you do to combat them?

We have all had them (or in some cases been the offender), tailgaters.

I had a bloody Truck on the M1 This morning at 5:30am, medium to heavy
traffic and this prick in a 
truck and trailer (Type that hauls dirt) decided that the 2 second rule
should be the 1metre rule (I 
kid you not) and at 100Ks I was very pissed off!

I slowed to around 90 so that he got the idea until he decided that the
10m gap in the next lane 
(and he was around 15m long) was a better option.  I pulled up along side
as traffic in my lane was 
then moving faster (we were all down to 80ish at this stage) and saw that
he was right up some poor 
ole ladies rear bumper, I couldnt read his number plate due to mud on it
but did get his truck 
details and transport company name.

My question is, What do you do in this situation?

Hitting the picks wouldve resulted in my wife burying me in a few days
time and my kids being 
without a dad.

Ive tried reporting this behaviour to the local police but they just dont
give a shit they have 
donuts to eat.

Following the bastard untl he stopped and dragging the prick out to beat
him sensless would be the 
bodies best idea but the brain was kind of against it.

I really do hate these cowboys being on our roads and Id love for them to
realise just what a danger 
they are to the cars in front of em.  Short of slowing to a halt and
shooting the ignorant prick in 
the head Im slightly at a loss.

Any ideas (useful ones) people?
