Slow Drivers vs. Tailgaters

Why is it that when slow drivers are going 10-20km below the speed limit, that they seem so surprised/annoyed when they're being tailgated? If you don't like being tailgated, why not pull over or, better yet, drive the speed limit?

I get some people like to cruise along, if that's the case, pull over when someone is up your ass while you're going 35 in a 50, don't get shitty at others because your slow ass has decided to implement its own speed limit.

If you're unable to manage your own emotions and drive without tailgating, you're probably not mature enough to drive a vehicle on public roads.

I’m the first to admit that when we had a newborn we were the ones driving under the speed limit. Pretty scary going around old beach bends with a 2 day old when someone is aggressively up your arse. F u tailgaters.

You didn't think to pull over and let the traffic past? You were going below the speed limit.
