The "solution" (until we get self driving cars, anyway) may well lie in the automatic speed limiters the EU are pushing and hope to make mandatory in the next few years. I'd really love to defer as much liability for speeding to my car as possible. It knows what the speed limits are, it can read signs, I just need a button that prevents it going over that speed and lets me otherwise drive however I like.. but we're not quite there yet.

In my younger days, I was more likely to drive over the limit, and to be honest I don't think it really made much of a difference in how quickly I got anywhere, but it used a lot more fuel, was more likely to kill me and was far more stressful having to keep switching lanes to maintain those speeds. Nowadays I'm more like you described, and I prefer to just punch in the speed limit on the cruise control and enjoy my podcast/music. If the traffic ahead slows down, I slow down. I leave the outside lane to the angry BMWs.
