03.01.2022 It’s easy to let the speed creep up when we’re in a hurry, thinking we’ll save some time and get to our destination faster. But increasing speed doesn’t save as much time as many people think. Let’s think about a 100km trip.... If we travel at 20kmh, it would take 5 hours to get to our destinationare we there yet? At 40kmh, we’d get there in half the time. But at higher speeds, the benefit of pushing the limits gets less and less. The difference between 110kmh and 120kmh is less than 5 minutes over a 100km trip. And that’s if we don’t get held up at all along the way. It’s just not worth it.
