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 what I can control is my speed.
So I let off the gas and slow down until my speed matches their distance.
(They’ll pass me long before that)

Slow down until they do, or even pull over if it’s safe to.
