There’s a minimum safe following distance that’s necessary to avoid accidents.
If they’re too close, I’m in danger of getting rear-ended.
The safe following distance depends on the speed we’re going.
I can’t control how close the car behind me is driving.
But I can control my speed.
So I blip the brake just enough for the brake lights to come on and get their attention, then coast without gas and slow down until my speed matches their distance.
What do you do if they still stay behind you, refusing to pass?

(They’ll pass me long before that)
Slow down until they do, or even pull over if it’s safe to.
