I lightly press the brake pedal, I call them fake brakes, if anyone is behind me. I also FAS a lot to lights and do the same.

I do not use the fake brakes on exits and some right turns if I have a tailgater. I love these guys on corners. With my tires to 44# (max sidewall) the Yaris corners great and I can take a corner a bit faster than they expect. I already know just how slow I need to be going and have anticipated it way before the corner by coasting. They must think because I have been going slower on the road that they can just follow me around the corner… Shazam! I make the corner and they nosedive or panic and hit the shoulder. Folks that are back a respectable distance can see the corner and set their speed accordingly, not to mine. It’s not much but gives me a smile now and again.
