Liberalism is when you don’t want to kill other road users.
I don’t know if you’ve ever had a man in a white van behind you on a UK road but they will try to match any speed you go at and leave less than a foot between bumpers if possible, so best to play it safe and go the limit so you actually have some stopping distance. If they rear end you that’s their problem from an insurance perspective.
Like sure I can do 0-60 in 4.4 seconds but this is a residential area and I’m not about to kill somebody who steps out from behind a parked car, thanks. Find an alternative route if it’s life and death.
Idk i guess I care more about people losing their jobs because they're late to work than some of y'all do
Set out earlier instead of hoping you can recoup the time by speeding then? Average speed of traffic over the whole journey is what matters, so plan for that. I’ve literally tested this myself multiple times by doing 130 on a motorway for a 40mi journey vs sticking to 70 on cruise control, and I’d save at most a couple of minutes. That’s not worth the extra danger/getting pulled over.

No it's when you live your life operating under "literally every human being on the road but me is just being an asshole for no reason" with a callous disregard for the material circumstances driving their behavior
