I suspect most users are not racing. They're probably driving a comfortable 80mph in 65mph and just don't want to get a ticket for a completely reasonable speed in a modern car.
And there are large parts of the country with open roads and low traffic. I’ve been in places in the southwest where you could see another car coming for miles, if there had been one, and there wasn’t. The roads were level and clear. There was no safety-related reason to strictly obey the speed limit, but heaven help you if you get stopped.
Doing 95 in Oakland? Take the car and crush it for all I car. Doing 95 out in the middle of nowhere with no one or nothing but yourself to hurt? Don’t let me stop you.
Around here, the problem isn't the people going faster than the speed limit. The problem is the driver who absolutely must go 10, 15 or 20mph than the other cars. The weaving and dodging is so dangerous. It's one thing to risk your own life. These people are risking everyone else's by zipping around them.
Anyone 10+ mph outside the flow of traffic in either direction, combined with overly aggressive or overly cautious moves (i.e. unpredictable compared to other drivers) are dangerous. Unfortunately you can't convince half this group they are part of the issue and the other half doesn't care.
