A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

If someone does this I'll slow down and take my time.
Similarly if someone is being a douche driving I'll slow down to 2 miles below the speed limit.
I have no illusions that they're learning anything. At that point it's petty revenge.
That’s cool except you’re no wasting everyone’s time and not just the person directly behind you.
If someone is driving recklessly or tailgating they're the ones creating the problem, not the person choosing to respond by slowing down slightly. Driving 2 mph under the speed limit isn't exactly grinding traffic to a halt. If someone is driving dangerously around me I'd rather force them to slow down if it makes things a bit safer.
Is the person tailgating because you're going slow?
And when you drive slow everyone is going to start to pile together into a big group and that only serves to make safety worse. You're not doing something good by doing this, let them get away from you if you value safety.
And I do that by... Speeding up?
Letting them pass. If it's a 4 lane highway get in the right lane and drive a speed different from the car next to you.
So, slow down? If it's a multilane road they're going to overtake. And I think it's disingenuous to assume they're choosing to go under the speed limit in the fast/over taking lane.
Based on context its far more likely this is happening on a single lane road, which, generally speaking, you're more likely to drive near the speed limit on anyway. And I'd rather someone tailgate me at a low speed than a high speed, if they're going to tailgate either way.
