The regular drive position just locks out overdrive, so you just use 1,2 and 3rd gear only.
This is helpful if you are towing a trailer or driving in hilly terrain at highway speed. Under those circumstances, if you are in (D) the trans will hunt or shift a lot between 3rd and overdrive. This makes the car feel more sluggish, slower and is a bit annoying.
Locking it in 3rd prevents this.
