That's the theory behind my driving habit. If a car is tailgating I'll slow down to what I feel is safe, although not too slow as that could be counterproductive too, causing people to get too impatient and do even more stupid things. Then at the nearest opportunity I'll stop or pull over and allow them to pass.
I always feel that the 'law of averages' means the person driving stupidly will regret it one day when they're trapped in twisted metal or behind bars.
