I know quite a few people, and I was once one myself, who simply keep to the limit. You can assert your right to drive only the speed limit, you have that.

That is what I do, because politicians in my jurisdiction constantly talk about "law and order" and being a "nation of laws", in addition to much anti-immigration rhetoric.

I still get tailgated, honked at, and road raged. Often by a large pickup truck.

Yes, it takes a bit of fortitude to stand against something similar to peer pressure. Modeling behavior, like fully stopping at stop signs, always using blinkers, getting your passengers to use their belts, etc. can take a bit of a mindset.

Ultimately, lawbreakers will break laws. Just like the trope of getting a gun illegally.

Peer pressure is one thing. But tailgaters and road ragers could put your life in danger.
