but that doesn't really work

It works fine in places like Germany. If you want to go slow, stay to the right.

The specific law should be that you're holding up traffic if there's room to move right while maintaining speed, and it's always illegal to pass on the right. The first addresses people going 10 under in the passing lane(s) and the second targets aggressive drivers. Imo, speed limits shouldn't be enforced unless it's actually causing public safety issues (e.g. 10-20 over is fine if everyone goes that fast, the issue is relative speed difference).
