> 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?"

smh

Drive with the flow of traffic: save lives.

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.

It's possible to increase accidents and save lives at the same time. If the average speed of accidents is greatly reduced, that could save lives.
