By purposely slowing down even further below the speed limit you create a dangerous situation because you become a road hazard. Not to mention you become distracted while toying with the other driver.

You were implying that because you drive slower, you instantly create a safer situation.

What is evoked in him, then, is of another order, more terrible because it has no words, and triumphant, too, for the same reason. And his triumph, when he triumphs, is ours." -Sonny's Blues
