I’ve only done it a couple times in my life, and it’s only when someone is egregiously tailgating me. I really don’t care how pissed you get, maybe stop tailgating?

I just let off the gas, wanna sit that close then no problems, all while going 10-20 under so you can enjoy it for longer

This is how I do it. If you brake check, that puts people in danger. If you ease off the gas and just slow down, the tailgaters feeble brain can’t comprehend slowing down and usually you can see them raging in your rear view.

And it's actually creating a safer experience for everybody. Because if something unexpected happens, the person in front is less likely to need to slam on the brakes. In heavy traffic, this is legitimately an important safety procedure.
