Do any of you "slippery slope" gentlemen ever exceed the speed limit on
the way to the airport?


One could argue that the speed limit is a lot more of an arbitrary number
than an aircraft's gross weight figures.

Consider the fact that in the US, the typical highway speed limit was 65
mph, then dropped to 55 mph over the late '70s, 80s, and 90s, then raised
back to 65 or in some states, even higher, in the late 90s.
