Here's for anyone still having trouble going slower on a highway:

Why worry about people passing your car? Can worrying add a second to your life? Isn't it better for them to pass you anyway if they're tailgating you, Only to find out they still tailgate you above the speed limit which is even worse? If someone tailgates at any speed, They're tailgating even if they don't do it at another speed so it's advisable to encourage them to keep a good distance from your vehicle in whatever means possible, Even if that means allowing them to pass you.

In most instances I've seen when going 55 in on a highway, Nearly every car and semi passes (I don't recall as many as five vehicles staying behind me for a long time since I started doing this months ago) and then there were scarcely any vehicles around until the next batch of drivers; Most drivers I've seen seemed to be traveling in packs.
