At sometime or other I probably have, but I am not familiar with that particular path. Just trying to share a possible answer to what you experienced. If it doesn't match, no harm done.
But what about the rest of what I said? Frustration as opposed to physical pain. And the possibility of changing your mindset so you avoid unnecessary frustration over things you can't change.

That would deem 90% of the post's on ToTV pointless... Including plenty of yours...

Probably. But, imHo, I would think that be when both the driver and vehicle are operating at peak condition and weather is clear and sunny.

In the US? In a retirement community? Unlikely that anything is set expecting peak performance and perfect conditions. The lowest common denominator is the usual target.

God may grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change but he doesn't blind me to them. Annoying is annoying whether explainable or not.

Excruciating and painful have usages beyond just physical sensations. Others seem to have understood what I was trying to convey.

Thank you for your concern over my mindset but I'm good.

How right you are. But, speed limits are generally set to what is deemed safe when fit driver is operating a safe and properly maintained vehicle on a clear, dry roadway under clear, blue skies. Maximum speed under optimum conditions. Less than optimum, drivers are supposed to adjust accordingly.
I wasn't there and don't know the specifics of the circumstances. But, assuming the road was in good shape, dry. Weather was good, sunny and clear with good visibility. And, driver was fit with no problems or distractions (illness, injury, mental conditions such as frustration, anxiety, anger). All in order then 20mph is probably OK. But, if anything is less than ideal, revise speed down.

Again, your argument is to change/limit the parameters...

I don't understand what you mean by changing parameters. My main thought is to let all those fuming about other drivers causing them such anger and agony over their not driving as one might like that it isn't worth getting upset over. Folks are fretting over things they can't control. You can't dictate how others must drive. BUT, you can control how you deal with the situation. You can get mad that the world doesn't cater to your whims and let it ruin your day, or you can take a "chill-pill" and relax, knowing you will get to your destination a few minutes later than you might have.

"when both the driver and vehicle are operating at peak condition and weather is clear and sunny."

No one was talking about the weather, nor the driver's/vehicle's "peak condition"...

That is changing the parameters of the argument...

Of course, if it's raining, you slow down. No one argued otherwise...

Of course if your brakes don't work, you get off the road. Again, not the argument...

And, as far as "taking a chill pill" goes, that pill works for you, as well...

If you see someone trying to pass you (safely, of course, lest you bring another variable into the equation), let them pass you. Slow down for the few seconds it takes to let them pass. Don't be a d!ck...

I prefer Richard, if you don't mind.

It is amazing how the same core group of posters seem to have an inordinate amount of issues while driving. Hmmmmmm...

Too many hot heads, for sure.

Just get out of my way. I do 50 to 60 on morse and buena vista. You want to drive like an old expeller of flatuence, go ahead….just dont be in front of me.

You have my word that if you don't pull up behind me then I won't be in front of you.
And, we need corned beef hash now.

Usually pork chops are too dry for me, but a juicy burger with a real chocolate malt sure sounds good.

Yeah, I think it is pretty funny. They seem to think that we should all change the way we drive just to make them happy. As if we care.

No look in the mirror and repeat this sentence...

"We seem to think that they should all change the way they drive just to make us happy. As if they care."

I see what you did there. Clever, but because it isn't an exact quote, should your comment actually be in ""'S?

Yes... Because I didn't assign the quote to anyone...

However, I DID quote them verbatim earlier in my post...

Traffic Also Makes It Difficult
 
There won't be any hurrying when the 8,500 new residents come in over the next year with the under 55+ communities the Town of Lady Lake has re-zoned and annexed, worse yet there is more land that is requesting re-zonnng and annexation for approximately 10,000 more homes in the area of Griffin Ave and out at 466. What do you think thats going to do to you when your'e in a hurry. Tell your Commissioners NO MORE re-zoning & annexing, we need a break.

It's all about the money. Can commissioners be "bought"? That is the question.
