In real world practical tests, speeding does not reduce the overall travel times proportionally with the speed. This is ESPECIALLY true for city driving and for a job with a ton of stops like a delivery driver.

Going 45 in a 40 is a 12.5% increase on paper but maybe 3% more deliveries in a day at best. I'd be shocked if that much honestly.

Speeding does not help anyone.

> 3% more deliveries

With stack ranking, this can easily get you from the bottom half to the top half pf performers.
