In that circumstance I would most likely not drive below the limit, but I would be at the indicated limit on my speedo. I might go slower but only if there are frequent stop lights that time green at a lower rate.
I always leave a lot of room in front of me, both to keep a safe distance and to give me a cushion to avoid braking due to traffic speed variations. That undoubtedly presents what looks like a passing opportunity to frustrated drivers. If someone takes that risk, they must bear the responsibility of that risk not paying off.
