You wouldn't have been doing 20 mph if it were me as I would have

And when you stopped he would have simply driven round you.
The arsehole is the one holding someone up, not the tailgater.
What makes you think just because you are a slow **** that you have the
right to make everyone else go at your speed?

You have to drive safely, you can't do that when an aresole is
tailgating you and maintain a reasonable speed.
So tailgaters slow the traffic down.
Anyone with common sense would understand that.

The tailgater is of course breaking the highway code. One car length
separation for each 10mph of speed.

Or, as the Government safety information film a while ago put it: "Only
a fool breaks the two second rule"
