I think the other chances of meeting another "turtle" on the road are fairly minimal at first. But since you are doing nothing illegal by going slow in the slow lane, people can always pass you. In a 3 lane highway, there is no excuse not to pass. I've been going 20kph slower than the speed limit (100kph) for 2 weeks now with no one beeping me.

I've thought of a few more bumper sticker ideas:
"Why race to red lights?"/"I don't race to red lights"
"It's called the Slow Lane for a reason"
"Life's more fun at 80kph"

Then there's the FPS inspired:
"TAILGATE MOAR!"
