I can see why you would do that, but that severely limits your speed. A 20fps+ drive can trip in seconds, and even an exeperienced driver can make mistakes (see: 1678). To prevent that you have to cap out your speed, thus limiting your competitiveness. One less thing for the driver to worry about IMO.
