Unless you're travelling a real distance, the amount of time you save
will usually be measured as minutes in the single digits.

That said, if somebody wants to speed, then it's up to them. It's up to the Police to police them and not some jumped up rules lawyer.

I prefer to travel made-up distances myself.

Yes.
I'm not really sure what point you're making as the time saved when speeding over the entirety of a journey vs the traffic flow on a motorway arguments are not only independant of each other, but utterly unrelated.

Kind of straw-mannish, actually.

Middle laners are a far bigger problem than
"they're stopping me from getting to my girlfriend's ten minutes earlier", as I've been trying to explain.

Bearing in mind that we were talking about people hogging the middle lane
this tends to suggest motorway driving, i.e. significant distances, rather than nipping down the shop for a packet of fags FFS.
