" If I'm driving the speed limit I don't pull over!" and you are probably the same person that stays in the left lane on a interstate making people pass you on the right as I am the God of what speed we should drive.
I believe it's safer for everyone if I go with the flow on busy two lane roads. About the only time there will be 4-5 behind my RV is when there is a slower vehicle in front of me. Even then I'll pull over as the cars behind me stand a better chance of passing the slower vehicle. Some states post when a passing lane is coming up in which case I'll back off so I can get a running start on passing the slow one. This gets me by it and then the rest can still pass me. Granted my first car was a 36 HP VW where even with a running start, you turned off the AC to pass.
I can almost tell you how old a driver is by how close they are to the vehicle in front when they pass. The older the driver the further back.
