I really don't see how something so simple has become so complicated in many people's minds.
Trying to drive at exactly the speed limit can result in a queue of other traffic behind being 'held up'. The inverted commas because they shouldn't have any expectation of travelling faster than the posted limit but the fact is they do.

Often doing that you will get drivers trying to intimidate you into driving at the de facto limit by tailgating. At the least you will be annoying them by not travelling at the socially accepted speed. That's a different kind of stress.

Arguably, that's the other drivers' problem but it's wilfully ignoring a cultural norm.
