Let's be honest, this man is absolutely right.
I have friends that won't go above speed limit, I also have a friend that was pulled over for doing 29 over and was still accelerating when he was pulled over. I am neither of these people. However, if I had to choose a side, I would say I'm closer to the guy who drives speed limit. Sure I go over every once and a while, but I pay for my own gas. So anything above 70 and my gas mileage drops from 20 to 16 like that. If I go 62 mph I get about 22 mpg in the 4Runner, which monthly saves me about $10. Which is alot to someone who only makes $15 an hour. Acceleration= crappy gas mileage.
I'm not the guy you see in an empty parking doing J-turns and drifting. I'm the guy driving on a curvy mountain road at a safe speed while still having a little fun.
