It is not inconsiderate, it is prudent. I do not know anyone who wants to take longer than needed to reach their destination. No one is, or should be, purposely trying to slow anyone down. There are valid times and situations for driving under the limit. Bad weather, towing, etc.

Look up the defintion of the word 'limit'. It is not the same as 'requirement'.
Some people drive with a false defination of meanings in the english language.

I did not make up the language, did not make up the traffic laws but, I do follow them for the most part. sorry if that bothers some. Too bad.
If a slow driver is driving less than the posted speed limit(which is moreless a guide on how fast to drive I generally drive 7-10 over).... and a driver comes up behind this person and rides their ass a little to let them know that they feel comfortable driving a little faster.... then.. as a slow driver driving under the posted limit should be considerate enough to pull to the side and let the other person go by.... anything less would be rude and inconsiderate. What gives a person the right to hold up someone that is comfortable driving the posted speed limit???....

BTW - yes... I understand towing... weather conditions etc..... I also understand oblivious inconsideration.... my basis is a clear dry sunny day...... people driving too slow in the fast lane... busy 2 lane roads that aren't really safe to pass on etc.... If someone wants to drive in the SLOW lane on a multi lane highway 5-10 mph under the posted speed limit... that is your business.... but please don't inconvience others....... its just plain rude.
