(Hi all, I'm new here.)
I think that anyone who increases the likelihood of an accident is "the problem". If you drive in the outside lane (also called the "passing lane", and for a reason) at the same speed as vehicles in the other lane, and thereby prevent other drivers from passing, even if they want to exceed the speed limit, then you are causing frustration, which can lead to accidents.
The fact that you were obeying the speed limit SHOULD be of little consolation to you if your behaviour is part of the reason someone tries a risky manoeuvre and causes an accident.
BTW I love Earl Grey too.
