re:  "I've had a lot of vehicles stuck behind me in the past week, I watch
them stringing out in a long line.  ..."

At one time there was a law in California that required people to pull over
& let traffic pass once the line had reached 5 cars or more.  Simple
courtesy, really.  Unfortunately, with the heavier traffic we have now, this
is sometimes impractical but I try.  It's been my experience that more
people will wave thanks rather than curse.

And passing safely is a skill that takes practice.  On today's multi-lane
highways, few people learn those skills well.  So, it's better they be over
cautious than do something dumb.  Sometimes, I'll pull over & let someone
like that go by rather than nervously watch them in my mirror trying to
judge passing distance.
