There's an argument for being able to get out of someone's blind spot more quickly if you're overtaking on a motorway and going .3mph faster than them, obviously it's a pretty bad one as you may as well stay behind them and go .3 mph slower, but even in that situation cars could be speed limited with a 5mph, 5 second boost you can use once every few minutes at most to satisfy that argument.
