Just relax and take a chill pill. Will driving a little slower kill you? I have a hard time understanding the pervasive need that people have to be "winners". This is not Nascar!
A five, or even ten, mile per hour difference makes such a little difference over an hour as to be comical. Do the math.
So it takes you five or ten minutes longer to get to your destination. You probably lose anytime you might think you have gained waiting at the stop light on the off ramp :)
Actually studies show driving too slow is actually more dangerous than driving to fast (assuming a similar deviation from the average).
So, yes, it can kill you.
To the original point: There are existing laws that cover this. This is just grandstanding.
