The way I read it, nothing above the speed limit can be considered "reasonable", as it is not "in compliance with law" which would mean impeding someone who is speeding would not violate that provision.
However, even that is moot, because on a 5 lane highway it is impossible to impede anyone at any speed. You could drive as slow as you wanted, and everyone could easily go around you.
I live in the city. There are no 2 lane highways around here.

I realised something else since I first posted to: The speed limit for trucks (and autos with trailers) is actually 55, not 65. Light trucks are exempt, but my truck actually weighs over the limit and is therefor legally a commercial truck.
Which means the 50mph I normally drive at is only 5 mph under the legal limit.
