What do you do when somebody follows you too close in their car?

Hi everyone,
A few times lately I have been out on the highway and have had somebody tailgating me. Honestly, they were less than a foot away from my back bumper. To make it worse, I was going 20 over the speed limit already! Do you ever have this happen to you? What do you do in this case? Sometimes I slow down and I must admit sometimes I let myself be bullied and actually speed up. What do you do?
cheers,

I usually keep an eye in the mirrow and let them pass me if they are in a hurry. That is if I can move to the inside lane and there is no much traffic. If there is too much traffic and I can't move then I will break so they will keep their distance.....

I had one incident around 6 years ago. I was just about 10 minutes after I went for a friendly drag with some friends. I noticed a car behind me speeding up and getting about 3-4 feet behind me at 100kph on a narrow street. It was around 1 in the morning and I was starting to feel that he is up to no good. What happened next was shocking, I went into 2 villages with a couple of turns and he continued to follow me. A long road is quite far already and I can't find a place to outrun him. I stopped by a police station and he went the other way. (sigh)

Mostly here if some car is near to you,
that mean they want you to let them pass,
and they want to drive even faster.
