> Even if it means other impatient drivers are zooming around me. I have, however, been rear-ended twice since then.
Wait, so you already saw someone be seriously injured, and since then, you've caused two other accidents (which are a danger to you too), and you're still going with "I'll drive the speed limit and not drive with the flow of traffic?"
That's a bold assumption about his accidents being his fault. Maybe he was rear ended at a light when fully stopped. And even if he was going slower than traffic, it's still the other driver's job not to hit other cars.
The first time I got rear-ended I was coming to a stop at a red light, the second time I was in the left-turn lane and came to a complete stop at the blinking red light. At no time was there any "flow of traffic" to speak of. The only way I caused those accidents was by not zooming through the light that was changing to red and not driving into the middle of the intersection on a blinking red light.
It's not my fault other drivers don't expect me to follow the law.

Drive with the flow of traffic: save lives.
