All of the above is true, and I do continue to drive at about 54 m.p.h. The point is that there are costs associated with it. Putting it monetary terms brings it into perspective. It really is 40 hours per year since it's not 10 minutes and 41 seconds every now and again but rather every work day. So, those forty hours could be spent with my significant other, or watching birds, or milling parts for a steam engine, or working on a proof for the Riemann hypothesis, or......
