Ok, phrased misleadingly, I guess. My thought was more along the line of »How frequently would I need to speed up to avoid something instead of slowing down?« – generally it doesn&#x27;t seem wise to me to add more energy to a situation and so far I haven&#x27;t come across a situation where slowing down wasn&#x27;t an appropriate response (granted, something heavy coming up fast from behind is an issue, but that also only helps if there&#x27;s nothing in the front to speed into).<p>Anecdotal as well, also with a huge grain of salt, considering that despite being somewhat old, I&#x27;m only allowed to drive since December. To other drivers I&#x27;m probably overly cautious, I guess.
