Strongly disagree. A struggler is doing 30 below the limit. Because someone obeys a law, doesn't make them a struggler. Someone buys new cars they can't afford is a struggler.
I choose to drive the speed limit, and I'm 36. I stay in the right lane except to pass. I also stop at stop signs, and understand what to do at red lights, amber lights, and yield and merge signs. It's better on gas, and I don't have to worry about getting tickets. If I'm in that much of a hurry, I leave five minutes earlier. I don't care if people speed on the highways, but I also don't care to hear them whine when they get caught. If you choose to speed you need to be prepared to accept a ticket if you get caught. It's that simple. You can justify it anyway you want, but if you knowingly break a law, whether you agree with it or not, then there is a penalty. Both the law, and the fine, are written in black and white. So often you'll see someone speeding and weaving in and out of traffic, yet you'll meet up with them at the next light. Way to go hero!

So where is the line of what's acceptable or not? 20 over in a 90 zone is fine, but what about 20 over in a school zone? Is 30 over in a 90 okay? 40? 50? Is there a percentage you want to go off of? Why is 20 over acceptable but 30 over is speeding? Why should everyone go off what you think is acceptable, when there are very few people (relatively speaking) that know who you are?
