I guess I do it wrong. I don't use the signal (usually) to indicate that I'm slowing down. I use it to communicate that I would appreciate i if traffic behind me would slow down, usually so I can merge left to make a turn or avoid an obstacle. Does anybody else do this?
EDIT: Sorry I didn't see this when I posted:
