I find that tailgaters can be a bit less perceptive than other drivers.

So if I have to downshift (and there is going to be some engine braking) I try to remember to touch by brakes to signify that I'm slowing down.

They are extremely annoying. If I'm on a road that permits passing, and the adjacent lane is empty, I try to hug the white line in an effort to suggest a safe pass. If they refuse, I may increase my speed threshold very slightly by 2-3mph, but not by much.
