Ok so hear me out. At 100km/hr that 200km journey will take 2 hrs. At 80km an hour that journey would take 2 1/2 hrs.

People are really this stupid to save 30 minutes?

Also worth noting in reality this wouldn't happen the whole journey.

People don't drive like that. We aren't calculating time saved or not. We get into a driving flow state and try to keep that felt experience of driving alive. Learning when to let that go for safety of yourself and others is an important and humbling skill.
