What if it's a girl? :P
If 'm not driving through twisties, I usually just go 10 MPH slower than the speed limit. If they don't back off, or in worse cases, they get closer, I just slow down more.
The margin of safety increases with each MPH I decrease, since reaction time is a component of distance between objects
and overall speed. At least when I'm going 30 in a 55, the tailgater will have enough time to respond when I finally
do hit my brakes.
(It's not very often I actually use them for anything other than a signal. They're over a year old, I just had Cara inspected, and the mechanic confirmed that they're about 80% new.)
