around 10 mph over the limit and faster. I think they
do see you, then they wait for you to pass by, when
they realize your lower speed they get impatient and
take off. I use to drive a heavy truck and cars this would
happen to me several times a day because they didn’t
want to drive behind me. I would drive with your low
beams on to see if it helps. Then your tail and marker
lights would be on also.

I used to drive ten, even twenty mph, over PSL, on local streets and expressways. Wore out lots of brakes that way, plus constantly nervous about getting where I was going.
I've gradually matured since than, and capped my speeds at PSL plus 5mph at most, and learned to advance my departure times a bit. I cruise only in the outermost lane, not in any lane I pleased as when I was younger. I'm not going back to old habits just to please the world, and I'm sure there are others out there who feel the same. Just because 'everybody does' something doesn't make it correct to do.
As for driving during the day with headlights on, low beam or high so that my tail lights are on: My issue is people not seeing me coming, not receding.
