So many people hate you if you do that. They will pass you angry, just to stop 5m down the road while you get there behind.

Driving well below allowed speed limit is dangerous, especially in high speed and high traffic roads, because a car behind you might be forced to brake, the car behind it brakes harder, next one even more harder creating a chain reaction that might end up in collision when the last driver doesn't have enough time to stop. There's reason why "minimal speed" sign and rule exists.

Sure, but we're talking about city driving near a red light, not breaking flow on high speed roads.
