you have a point there, but, in a way the people in the cars I mentioned will be hardly confronted with hairy situations where they will have to react quickly to avoid problems. They may have caused the hairy situation by strange movements or changing traffic lanes without paying proper attention, but the people who then need to be able to control their vehicle are the ones that approach at high(er) speeds.
