How are you any different? You expect others to stick behind you and drive your "style."
Contrary to what you say, there really aren't a lot of passing lanes or zones on 26. Where there are dashed yellows, oncoming traffic is often present as 26 is a well traveled road. And your suggestion to pass you where there are double yellows doesn't hold water. Doing so is far more dangerous than driving 5-10mph over the speed limit and the ticket/insurance penalties reflect this. People may want to drive a little over the limit, but they don't want to be unnecessarily reckless on the roads.
However, there are plenty of places on 26 with wide shoulders or break down lanes that you can slide over to, still maintain your desired speed and let others through at their desired speed.
I'm not going to waste any more time with this. I'll just leave you with this concept. Speed limits are set to be broken within reason. Where it's 55 mph on 26 it's okay to go 60-62. That's why the majority of people are looking to go that speed. The traffic safety administration knows this and intentionally sets it low. If they set the limit at 60, the majority will try and go 65-67 and onward and upward. Ever drive I95 North of Bangor? Limit is 75. Most people drive 80-85 up there. If they raised the limit to 80, 85-90 would be the norm. You'll likely never get a ticket driving the norm (being what most folks do) if you do one simple thing. Tap the breaks when you see a cop and briefly slow down. Give the illusion you weren't meaning to drive that fast and they will let it slide.
Anyways, it's been fun. Despite the efforts of the many to convince you to heed to majority opinion, you've got your preferences. So, be it. I'm out of this debate.
Stay safe out there!
