Perhaps, Ian :-)  But then in the early days of motoring, before there were 
traffic lights or stop lines and signs on the roads at junctions, some 
motorists would increase their speed to cross a junction in the belief that to 
do so would reduce their chances of meeting someone else there.

And as a corollary to that idea, I have often joked to my students that if you 
run short of fuel while airborne you should speed up so as to get somewhere to 
refuel before it runs out . . . ;-)  Or if you are lost, go faster so that you 
can find somewhere you recognise sooner :-))
