This is a common misconception.
Where the sign goes up, it's because there isn't room for a safe squeeze pass.
So you should take the lane.
Now, if oncoming traffic is so incessant that there isn't an opportunity to be passed using the opposite lane, then it's prudent to start looking for the best opportunity to let those bottled up behind you safely pass and begin receding into the distance.
But the point is that you get to pick that spot.
"I want you gone - and I'm going to find you the first plausible opportunity to be" is the message we should be sending.
