If the car in front was being driven by a woman would it be as funny to have a guy following you?
So technically, if you were driving on a two lane road like that at the speed limit and there is traffic behind you also going the speed limit (matching your speed), wouldn't they be following you? If a driver wants to pass a slower car on a two lane road, they are going to be a couple of car lengths behind until there is an opportunity to pass or the slower car pulls to the side. That's how traffic works on a two lane road, which any driver in a slower vehicle should understand. It doesn't necessarily mean someone is following you, nor should it prompt a call to the police.
