What's a little extra 5 or 10 mph on the clock?

I don't. I go the speed limit to the best of my ability. I only speed by accident and when safety suggests I need to follow traffic.

I wouldn’t say you are SUPPOSED to, but it is called a LIMIT for a reason. I’ve had to remind that to people. It’s a LIMIT to how fast you are supposed to go. Going 80 on the highway should get you a ticket but no one gives a fuck anymore and most people commuting seem to be in a permanent rage induced mood.

It’s pathetic in my eyes.

You're supposed to go below the speed limit

Why is it so hard for people to set their adaptive cruise control to the speed limit? Everyone is watching TikTok on their phone anyways. Can we have speed governors in all cars please? At least in official cars like public works and fleet for utilities?
