Is this bad? Should I stay in the middle of the lane, and force the car to stay behind me?
It is illegal to pass on a DY lane.
You're really asking us what we would do. You need to make these judgments for yourself depending on the particular road. Also, you've never identified what legal jurisdiction you're riding in. Most states allow cars to cross a dy to pass a cyclist provided the opposite lane is clear.
