It's actually very useful at times.... like if you're traveling at 80mph in a 75 and some dumbass semi driver decides he wants in your lane with no shoulder, gunning it is safer than causing a massive pileup by stomping on your brake.
And I generally find it far safer to not be around other cars, so I'd much rather get through the bullshit than be one of the dolts who spend 4 days passing each semi.
If we actually taught people how to drive and the responsibility that comes with it, 100mph wouldn't be such a daunting thing that you seem to be making it out to be. That's prime cruising speed for many cars these days.
