You gonna feel safe going 65 with people flying past you and up on your ass at 90 miles an hour?
What I'm really trying to point out here is that, as the law is written, if you're going faster than the posted speed limit, you are speeding. If everybody else is going faster than the posted speed limit, that doesn't change the fact that, as the law is written, you are still speeding. So, if you get pulled over, you get pulled over because you were speeding.

Following the flow of traffic doesn't suddenly change the law. There is no provision that states that it's not speeding if everybody else is going faster than the speed limit.
