I can dismiss you "because it's easy".

Original Question

I was pointing out that a road has 99% non-compliance with the speed limit, I then went into detail about how and why it's the road design and the conditions at the time that dictate traffic speeds. And I go into detail about how driving is a system 1 activity etc. There seem to be a lot more keyboard warriors online who will claim to not be in that 99%.
Their response was basically "So what" No amount of non-compliance to them could seen as be indicative of the speed limit being wrong, I know this is also an appeal to the law.
And despite the non-compliance stats they will claim that obeying the speed limit is "easy".
I think this is a fallacy because driving 2mph to park is in a literal sense easy but so is walking sideways, something being easy initially doesn't always make it intuitive to sustain over long periods, which clearly it isn't which is explained better in the video I link to.

I don't get this really. Perhaps you can phrase it as an argument...
