I'll tell you a little secret. There is only one speed in the universe
and that is the speed of light. Nothing moves faster or slower. Speeds
that are observed to be less than c actually consist of series of
discrete jumps (at c) that are interpersed with rest periods.

So the question should not be "How Does Light 'Know' How Fast to
Travel?" but how do other bodies know how to insert rest periods
between the jumps?

Yeah. You walk to your mailbox and your trip actually consists of a
series of discrete jumps (at c) that are interpersed with rest
periods.

Yup.
