Trying to drive competitively in a traffic jam is always unsafe. Actually, at least around Seattle I haven't noticed traffic "constantly" going around me as I do this. By making it easier for people to merge into the lane in front of me I'm actually making it a lot safer for them.

They honestly don't go around you that much in my experience. When I've tried it, people seem to usually fall in line behind you - I think they're not really sure what's going on.
