Most of my miles are commuting across Dallas. I'm on four-lane and six-lane roads for big chunks of my 50+ mile commute. I don't filter.

If I come up behind a car (or row of cars) at a red light, the odds are, they navigated around to pass me within the last mile or so. I do take the right lane so any cars passing will have to move into the next lane. If I filter to the front of the line of cars, they will then have to navigate around me again.

Since most road users, at these times of day are going to work, I see the same drivers, day-in and day-out. I've had conversations with some of them at stores, cafes and restaurants along my route. I see no good reason to aggravate them any more than necessary, when they'll probably be coming up behind me again, sometime soon.
