My two cents (that's you're about to get for FREE!):
I did not move to TV to be in a hurry. However, if I do have an appointment and time is a factor, I'll use my actual car. If I'm in a golf car, I am not in a hurry and am happy to drive the speed of a bicycle for as long as required before I pass -- if I pass at all. Something I've learned relatively quickly (being a new permanent resident) is that my golf cart experience is so much nicer when I do not have the pedal to the metal. The cart is quieter and conversations with my favorite passenger (hi, Honey!) or listening to music are much more enjoyable. Slow down. Take in the scenery. Practice gratitude for all you have here. Never forget the smog, the traffic jams, and the stress of driving every day to a full-time job.
On another note, I also make it a point to pull over for cars when on residential streets. If they want to go faster, I let them. I am surprised, however, at the lack of "thank you" waves I get for being so considerate. But I'm not doing it for them, anyway. That's all I have to say about that.
