&gt;In most cases, I&#x27;d rather lose control and slip and slide around on&#x2F;off a road than get flattened by a long vehicle merging into my lane because my car limited my acceleration.<p>That is an absolutely insane position to take. How about instead of losing control and going off the road, you take the car off the road in a controlled manner. You&#x27;re already okay with going off the road... so just do that in case you find yourself in an exceedingly unlikely situation in where it&#x27;s needed.<p>Otherwise, I&#x27;m not buying the whole &quot;pedal to the metal is going to save me&quot; line.
