The point is if you are doing the speed limit in the left lane, move over.

not all roads have 2 or more lanes per side you know...

i will always try to go the speed limit and if someone decides to tailgate me i will stay the same speed be it open or not...

Basically, with my truck i'm literally doing 50-60 around town whereas before it would be 70'ish. And if someone tailgates me in the city they're just fucking retarded.

I think this is more for on the highway and for the most part I agree. On the highway I do 100km/h no more because of my fuel burn. If I need to go around someone I wait for a break, go up to 120km/h, pass the person and get back in the slow lane.

I always get a chuckle out of a caravan of idiots tailgating each other. You know when you see three or four (sometimes more) driving down the hwy with 5 feet between em. Just a pileup waiting to happen. Some people are just idiots.

some people here dont realize that speed isnt always a reason why someone gets tailgated... some people drive like shit.. some examples are....

super slow acceleration
break super early then slow to a crawl 5 car legnths behind the next car...
not paying attention when lights go green(more than 2-3 lights)

Well it also depends on the car too. If the person is driving say a car made in 1980 of coz the breaking and the acceleration system isn't going to be as good as the new cars thus it takes them longer to break and accelerate. If you try out a new brand new car vs cars made 15 to 20years ago you will know the difference.
