If you drive much slower than the flow of traffic, you:

Are a defensive driver.
Might cause a crash.
Always have the right of way.
Are driving safely and can avoid tailgaters.
Explanation

Driving significantly slower than the flow of traffic can be dangerous and may increase the risk of a crash. Driving below the speed of surrounding vehicles is NOT safer - it can be just as hazardous as speeding. To maintain a safe driving environment, keep up with the flow of traffic when possible. If you must drive slower than other vehicles, stay in the right lane and allow faster-moving traffic to pass.
