No, I believe in Utilitarianism, the greatest good for the greatest number of people. This however, is placing a burden on the majority of the community due to the actions of a few. Sure, it sounds selfish, but think about it on the bigger scheme of things - should all (insert point/person/lifestyle here) be banned/limited just because a very small minority does (insert other negative point here). Its unequitable and unjust.

As for using the cars speed to escape an accident, if you are driving in 5th gear and an accident happens traveling at 110km/h. The time needed to accelerate to 130km/h or more to avoid it would be longer than the accident actually happening.

When i'm not driving an auto, I certainly won't overtake using 5th ! I also don't concern myself too much with what my speedo reads while I find myself in this position. I do my overtaking at about 10-15km/h above the speed limit. Fact - the longer you on the wrong side of the road, the longer you are in danger.
