I've also been on the other side of this. I said 10 times I'm not a good at looking at someone following me while driving. Halfway through we go off the off ramp from the high way and at the end there is a light. I drive up to the light, it's green. When I'm directly under it, I see it switch to yellow from the corner of my eye. I'm like fuck and check my rear view mirror and the person following me is nowhere to be seen. Turns out when we got to the off ramp I just let the car roll and only braked when getting near the lights (there was a turn directly after the lights). They braked right as they got off for some reason. Yet it was my fault? That's some BS, especially after I said I wasn't good at it and didn't want to do it like that.
