Have a tailgater what for
Discussion
If you're on a 60mph/NSL speed limit dual carriageway and decide to reduce your speed to <30mph, you're being more dangerous to the traffic around you than the tailgater.
Reduce your speed (but not too much), carefully anticipate the road ahead and avoid sharp changes in speed or direction.
It's possible the tailgater didn't want to overtake you because they knew they were leaving to the nearside soon.

I was pootling happily in the slow lane at 60 idiot starts flashing me. Took my foot off the gas ended up going less than thirty he still didn’t overtake
Bizarre. Eventually he exited left and I made a point of getting back up to 60 quick smart
Did you have your rear fog light on? Bizarre. Eventually he exited left and I made a point of getting back up to 60 quick smart

Going down to less than 30 in a 60 all of a sudden makes you the dhead being dangerous?Bizarre. Eventually he exited left and I made a point of getting back up to 60 quick smart

The more bizarre behaviour is yours.Bizarre. Eventually he exited left and I made a point of getting back up to 60 quick smart
How can reducing your speed in the circumstances described be anything other than bizarre. Dangerous, might be another word to use.
