From I read here most of you folk would want me to pull over if I am in front of a string of traffic that went thru a stop light 3 miles ago so they can go on even though all are spaced out as they should be and running at posted speed limit on a two lane road. I often encounter this half mile long string on my local US-50. As I see it some are not making sense.
Do as you wish, but be aware that in Montana (and some other states) if a Highway Patrol Officer sees you at the front of a long string of vehicles (4 or 5 or more), and you don't pull over and let them pass when it is safe to do so, you just might get a ticket!
That IS the law!
Good luck.
If I am running the speed limit and he gives me a ticket. My lawyer will have him for lunch. And the Judge will share the meal. In other words. It won't hold up.

If you are the front of the line and not a vehicle in sight in front of you, and 10 to 20 vehicles behind you you just might get a ticket if not a warning.
If not in a hurry and want to drive the speed limit or less, then be considerate and pull over. If you don't like to pull over do like me and go with the flow.
It is amazing when you go with the flow (within reason), it is relaxing in that while there are vehicles behind you and in front of you you will find there is not the big race to get around you when you do come up to a passing lane.
