accelerate out of danger
You hear this quite a bit in the traditional motoring world, has anyone ever challenged this as a bat shit crazy old thing to suggest? I don’t get in what situation powerful acceleration is somehow safer. Just go slower and read the road ahead properly in the first place.

Just post rationalising off the premise that everyone is already driving dangerously and at speeds exceeding the limit so of course you need to be able to go ‘faster’ to protect yourself. It’s like an arms race.
I’ve also heard people in the countryside saying it’s the slow (usually means legal limit, appropriate for the conditions) drivers that cause accidents, quite counter intuitive but hey

It's bullshit. The right thing to do when things are going wrong is to remove energy and buy a bit of time to think about it

How would I accelerate out of danger when I've tried to overtake on a blind bend and someone comes round the corner?
