I differ slightly from you guys, personally. When possible I like to stagger with the traffic in alternate lanes in such a way that we're not riding right next to each other regardless of speed, so if anyone like that comes by they can just simply go around, and if I'm going slow I'll stay in the right lane and let people pass on the left (depends on which side is "driver's" of course but ykwim).

That way nobody is dangerously riding my ass (or if they still do they have no excuse), if I need to switch lanes abruptly due to hazards I have the space, as does my other-lane counterpart that is staggered behind or in front of me in the other lane, and it just feels less cramped. Safer all around imo than intentionally pissing off someone already exhibiting irrational behavior while operating a two ton machine at high speeds near me, I'd rather just say to myself "go on ahead dumbass, hope you get pulled" than have the stress of even potentially having to deal with all the hullabaloo of an accident even if I were guaranteed no injury (but you're never guaranteed that.)
