Exactly. Once they're ubiquitous it will be far less of a problem, but during that in between period where it's a blend of self-driving and regular cars it's going to cause problems.

Hell, for some people with hour long commutes, asking them to go the speed limit the entire time is forcing them to suck up in some cases 30 plus minutes of additional commute, every day. Sure, they could use that time to read a book or browse the web on their phone, but it's a very real cost people are going to have to be comfortable with.

I'm also not saying it's a good thing that people blatantly ignore the rules of the road, but its still how things currently operate in the real world.

Honestly, if we ever reached a point where 100% of the cars on the road are self driving, city commutes would actually be faster. Stupid things people do behind the wheel are mostly why we move so slowly during rush hour.

Of course, we'll never reach that point, without forcing people to switch cars.
