I feel this more when I am on the highway at the speed limit and a car ahead of me is going 5 under it.

My cars cruise control will match speed to keep spacing with the car ahead, so the guy going 5 under makes my car slow down while the guy in the lifted pavement princess speeds up to get an inch off my bumper at 65 mph trying to make me go faster.

Tailgaters like that are the worst, especially if they have a clear path to pass you but just don't for some strange reason.

To deal with folks like that, I like to do what I call the reverse pass. I'll go into the left lane, slow down, and then drop back behind the tailgater. Then I'll happily let them be the pace car, letting them be the radar shield, matching whatever speed they choose to gun it to.
