    I actively go slower the closer they get to my bumper, eventually I get slow enough that they feel confident enough that their expensive car or truck can pass

      I’m a school bus driver and we were taught to do exactly this when somebody tailgates us. Tailgaiting a school bus is remarkably pointless anyway, since a car that close behind becomes completely invisible to us. I can only know somebody is doing it at night because of the faint glow in my side mirrors that I maybe eventually notice.
