Everyone speeding is even more of a reason why going 5+ under is a terrible idea. Go with the flow of traffic, keep the furthest-left lane clear for anyone going faster than you, and enter/exit at speed. These are simple things completely lost on people.

There are sections and times of day on Deerfoot and Crowchild specifically where the average flow of traffic is 20-30km/hr higher than the speed limit. That’s not “hey look at that speed demon! must be in a rush!” that’s literally everyone going that speed. If you’re going 5-10 under, you’re going 25-40km slower than everyone else, and that makes you a complete hazard.
How many times have we heard that "speed" was factor when it comes to crashes and accidents.

Obviously this only applies to good road conditions. But at the end of the day, if you want to sight-see, buy a ticket and ride a tour bus. Don’t take your Golf Cart onto Deerfoot.
Don't quit your day job you'd fail as a comedian.
