Explain to us poor losers how more speed is a safety feature? This is the third or fourth time you've said that or something similar. Last time I checked, in a bad situation, 99% of the time the brakes are your best weapon. The times when you "need to accelerate out of a problem" are very very rare, and likely a result of a bad decision.
