Okay, I'll write down what I would do in situation that you've described;
1 - If someone did a punishment pass while I'm in primary, I'd brake hard while moving a little into secondary till the vehicle is now in front of me, and resumed back into primary.
2 - If someone tailgating, I'd look back, acknowledge them and carry on riding till they think there's enough room to overtake, and if they did 1, I'll repeat what I did with 1.
3 - Horn blaring, verbal abuse etc. this is usually one of the situation where I'd just pull over and let them go, no point in confronting someone with a big broad sword against your garlic crusher.
4 - Very very rare, people just don't suddenly do this for no reason, they did when I confronted them back when I didn't had cycle training let alone experience, but nowadays it's rare as hen's teeth, if I did 3, then 4 is even less of a likelihood.
