On a 10 minute drive, if you increase your speed by 10% you spend 10% less time at the mercy of the other "asshats" on the road. This is a bad argument, but so is the one posted above.

Actually I don’t think that that would be true. From what I’ve seen on the road typically those drivers that are speeding and weaving in traffic get caught at the same lights, stop signs, etc. . . that the drivers doing the speed limit do (unless of course you are talking strictly about deerfoot . . . in which case the catch up to the same traffic jams) so really they’re on the road for the same amount of time.
