When people ride my ass while I am doing (at least) the speed limit I just take my foot off the gas to gently slow down until they go around me. If its only one lane then I will go under the speed limit. Im petty too like that

I just let them pass you. Not worth some lunatic you piss off even more and end up shooting you.
If it's a 2 lane per side road the best way to get them to pass you is to not break check them but just take your foot off the gas until they get frustrated enough to just go around but this contextually sounds like a single lane sitch which you are correct is dangerous.
I'm a school bus driver and the course material (and test questions) for the CDL state this explicitly. If someone is tailgating you, you slow down. Tailgaters are gonna tailgate no matter what, and slowing down means the damage will be less if they do happen to hit you. If that makes them mad tough tittie (the course material does not use "tough tittie" but you can tell they wanted to).
The great irony of people who tailgate school buses is that WE CAN'T EVEN FUCKING SEE YOU BACK THERE. Even in your fantasy world of the person in front of you feeling pressured and speeding up (which never ever actually happens), it can't possibly happen if they don't even know you're there.
This is correct. It's never worth it.
I slow down to allow them to pass me safely and easily.
I would fully agree that confronting a lunatic face to face is dangerous, but the chances of getting shot for driving slow is next to zero.
Just let them go, because they are eventually gonna crash into a cop car and then you'll see the grest confrontation between fascist pig vs unhinged sov-cit in real time, great show!
people in my region have been shot at for flashing their lights at someone to tell them their lights were off. that's why i think escalating a scenario where one or both of you are wielding/controlling deadly weapons/machinery is the only way to go.

Boom, it happened one time so it will happen every time
But is not zero
When you repost shit on Lemmy, the repostiness is amplified by 100x.
This comment section is a very good case study in why better public transportation is absolutely necessary: a lot of you should not ever drive.
Reading the comments I thought I was on Reddit :D
