...nothing at all wrong with overtaking at a 1 MPH differential as long as you keep right afterward...

Exactly. Though for anyone that doesn't have a speed limiter and towing a 53ft trailer are best advised to pass trucks at a brisk pace, as it's dangerous for smaller cars and light pickups to stay in the drivers' blindspots.

Gotta signal back right pretty quickly… you wanna give a truck the space it deserves and stay outta the blindspot, guy behind you assumes if you don’t move the moment your car technically physically fits that’s their cue to do so when theirs fits.

(Of course can be mitigated by overtaking with a little more gusto which is technically illegal - speed limit is the limit - buttttt…)

Nah theres a big problem with that.

Like the other guy said big rigs get a pass at slow passing as they literally can't speed up fast enough anyways.

Someone in a grocery getter? Fuck them. Thats a dangerously slow differential for the passer,passee, and everyone behind them.

They can either speed the fuck up or go back behind the dude that isn't fast enough for them.
