I touch the brakes only when I'm slowing down, but not necessarily to cause me to slow down. And I only do that when people are following too closely behind me.

I've been rear-ended by people following too closely who failed to recognize that I was slowing in time to slow themselves down. I'd rather be pragmatic and warn them off before an accident occurs.

By "will be slowing" I mean: I have removed my foot from the throttle or stopped cruise control but my vehicle has not started to appreciable slow yet.
