Not everywhere in the world or nation are drivers as impatient and stressed as they are in California. People are actually somewhat patient in other places. Hard to imagine, I know. :-\ Look, the speed limit is not a minimum. In most places, if you need or want to drive below the limit, there's no good reason not to. This "road hazard" business is just plain wrong-headed. By that standard, you'd have to ban heavy trucks and farm machinery from the roads. You'd also have to kick a lot of older drivers off. With their diminished reaction time, such folks have to drive more slowly, in order to drive safely. Whether you're driving a gravel truck, hypermiling your ICEV, maximizing your EV's range, or just aren't in a hurry, IMO a speed within 10% of the limit -- even 20% -- is entirely reasonable. If that's not how it is where you live, maybe you should consider moving out here to the Midwest, where people generally aren't so full of righteous rage all the time. Of course you'll have to deal with the fact that there aren't as many public EVSEs here -- and not that many EVs, either.
