I guess it depends on the drafter. Some are decent and know what they are doing but some are just awful. I've had one ride into my back wheel when I eased off to slow down for stationary traffic before, and one smash right into me slowing down for peds on a zebar crossing. Both times I didn't even touch the brakes.
Still that's two very bad exceptions, most are cool although few ever thank me for the tow (I always thank them and return the favour when I'm drafting) but that's probably because they can't talk due to the massive effort they need to put in to get near me... coughs
