I'm not sure where you live, but in many places if the speed of traffic is faster than the speed limit, you're expected to follow that, if you can do so safely, because driving slowly causes the reckless behavior you mentioned and can actually be more dangerous
Many places? Where are you from? Iโd like to see that written down in a law book before putting that theory to the test ๐
It's true for motorcycles in the UK. You're taught to keep up with the prevailing traffic because you're too vulnerable not to. You don't fail your test for speeding if it's appropriate in the circumstances.
Cars can get pulled over for going too slow and holding people up. But obv not if they're doing at or close to the speed limit.
please see my other answer
