Downshift a couple of gears without braking and watch for the nose dive when they brake. Then accelerate quickly to create a gap and go back to cruising. Rarely does it take more than one or two times for them to get the hint.

That is an effective technique...I use it every so often myself. Sometimes I just hit the emergency flasher switch so the rear lights go on only once. The tailgater doesn't know whether it is the brakes being applied or what

...crude but very effective.
