   As for driving smarter, not slower, I have never known a bad driver to 
   improve with the addition of speed...and rarely to admit that they are bad.

One day I was driving down the New York State Thruway from Albany to
New York City and falling asleep at the wheel at a speed of 55-60.  I
sped up to 75 and the resulting need to use more of my senses made it
easier to stay awake.  The numbers are vaguely recalled and probably
wrong, but the basic events did happen.
