What is 'significantly ...' though? People should be driving at the speed at which they feel comfortable and safe; and if that's 10mph below the limit then why not? Clearly, if someone likea to travel at 5mph then they might consider walking, or getting a bike!
I'm afraid that
some motorists have a very arrogant attitude to other road users: "I would be driving at 45mph [or whatever] so why shouldn't everyone else!". Cyclists note this more than motorists: some drivers will simply not wait for a safe area to overtake but do all sorts of dangerous things. The road was made for them apparently and if others drive differently they should get out of the way!
