I've tried that, but it usually just makes the tailgater back off instead of passing. I want them to PASS, not just back off! If they are still behind me then I have to drive like a mostly sane person!
One interesting phenomenon I have noticed is that when I am close to or above the speed limit (limit 65, speed 62+), people will pass pretty much right away, but when I am going 55, they just stick behind me, seemingly content with going slow. Plenty of open lanes to the left, and they don't pass. I have come to the conclusion that people just honestly have no idea what to do when someone is going slower than normal. Their brain just shuts off
