Also, safety. Being able to floor it during an emergency can sometimes get you out of an impending crash - if the situation is right, and your reaction time is quick enough.

Oh for sure, but that could require going more than 10 over the limit. I can't imagine needing to go 25 over the limit under pretty much any (non-apocalyptic) circumstance, but 10 doesn't seem like sufficient for this type of situation.
