Or economy minded.
You are right that accidents can happen at any time and in any place, but in my experience, slow drivers contribute just as much to the total number of accidents as speeders. The disparity in speeds and the inaccurate expectations of other drivers cause a large number of accidents. Regardless of whether you feel you are justified for traveling less than the posted speed limit, if another driver inaccurately gauges your speed/acceleration and hits you, you were still -- at least partly -- the cause of the accident.
