Dangerous driving at night

I went to a place 45 minutes away for a social group yesterday and when the meeting ended, it was dark. I proceeded to have an interesting drive, with people going really fast and following me really close. I kept getting almost blinded by headlights. I tried to speed up a little to satisfy them, but I kept having to slow down because it was dark and there were some curves and hills on the back roads I was taking. I would rather be safe than dead due to careless driving, but apparently other people don't see it that way, and don't realize the importance of safety while driving at night.
