Yes. Doesn't matter if the speed limit is 55 or 85. There seems to always be a need to "break the suction" when you pass. That sucking sound would be the pass blocker pulling their head out of their posterior orifice.
Courtesy goes a long way.
Regarding the OP, good for you. You raised reasonable doubt, in spite of not having an attorney.
My brother beat a being in the hammer lane on 3 lanes rap in California. We did a written declaration, researching the law. He got a refund check with EXONERATED on the stub. The reason is we found the trooper cited the wrong trucker. The trooper should have cited the two truckers blocking traffic at 54 mph in the right two lanes. You can't block traffic. That law also applies to self righteous folks with their head up their posterior that speed up to block a pass. Just an FYI.

It's a natural tendency to speedup when getting passed. I'm guilty of it if I am free footing instead of on cruise control, and I make the effort to consciously reduce speed a couple miles an hour to facilitate the pass.
It doesn't matter if the driver passing me is over the speed limit or not, if they are comfortable driving a tad faster than me then let them flow. Slow a bit to build a safe following distance and then I get back to my preferred speed. I lost all of what? Five seconds by facilitating a pass? BFD
Let it go.
That's a phrase I taught my hot blooded wife. Just let it go. What's in the past is past. Water under the bridge.
Getting worked up about folks that speed up when you try to pass doesn't help you maintain absolute control of your mind set. Go with it.
This may be easier for me now that I drive an ungoverned truck. If I pass a "professional driver" cruising at 68 mph on a 70 mph freeway and suddenly he/she speeds up to block my pass I keep accelerating until they cry Uncle. I pull back to the right lane and get back to my cruise speed. Maybe they try to hang with me to make a "point", but eventually they fall away.
I never start a day of driving expecting to drive my preferred speed all day long. I go with the flow. If traffic builds up I kick out of cruise and "shift mental gears" (the hardest gear to shift) and concentrate on maintaining space.
Keep the space. Keep the peace. Stay centered. -
Doing even 90 in a 4 wheeler is scary next to a big truck! -
An easy way to solve this problem not to go to California. Let them them choke on their ridiculous regulations in that state.
