Many many moons ago, when I worked for GM, I had the fortune of taking their "advanced driver training" done at their proving ground near Detroit. One of the most memorable portions centered around the instructor the three "trainees" that their task is to go backward throough a slolum (sp?) course as fast as we could. The first person who tried it when way too fast and quickly lost control. The instructor laughed and said "I said to do it as fast as you can ... you were obviously going faster than you COULD do it."

Speed is a relative thing - its skill, experience, fore-thought, and some common sense that come together when we judge which speeds are appropriate. Drive to arrive!!
