Not with that attitude!
I often drive slower than the limit. I set my Sirius XM to classical or new age and don't fucking touch it.
I'm in a hybrid, and I use the pulse and glide technique to maximize fuel economy.
I’m pretty sure computers do a better job of managing the clutch and the regenerative brakes and stuff, but we need to give more things to drivers to do to help keep them focused and engaged if we’re going to continue to allow them to operate automobiles.
Not too much slower though. In my state ten over and ten under is covered by the same rule. Its reckless driving.

when I used to commute, before the pandemic, I read so many books and finished so many games during those two hours a day of transit on the train. Doing that by car would have been so much worse.
Just as with q tips: I surely am the exception.
You see it's actually safer if I speed because then I'm less likely to get bored and start watching a movie instead of the road 🤣
It's actuakky because you spend less time on the road, therefore less time you can get in an accident.
that too, also it increases your adrenaline, which enables you to react faster .
Jokes aside though, speeding isn't really an issue, its when you hit something/someone that it matters, and that only tends happen when people are bad at driving. Just need to have more frequent and more difficult license tests, and viable alternatives to driving, so people who are bad at driving can stop driving when they find the tests too difficult.
you can drive slower
Please don't drive slower than the speed limit. That can be dangerous too.

The problem is that most of that people that need to be hit are in the cars, and there are just too many of them. Too many.
