No need to brake-check them. Downshift a gear or two and let the car engine brake. Keep an eye in the rear view mirror and as soon as you see their nose dip when they brake, punch it to create some distance (don't think I've ever had to do this more than twice to get my point across). I use this method very successfully to get people off my a$$. It is typically a big truck who I know has no problem seeing past me and that I can't go anywhere due to cars in front of me. I have also used this method to make a gap and give someone in the adjacent lane an opportunity to get over behind me, thus protecting me from the tailgating idiot.
