[106] [153] In some cases, police focused on driving while "influenced", pull over slower quartile sober night-time drivers moving no faster than they can stop within the radius of their headlights; [1] this discourages adjusting speed downward from anything but the posted "maximum speed" permitted by law—which is determined as previously ...
Hill descent control helps drivers maintain a safe speed when driving down a hill or other decline. [40] These systems are typically enacted if the vehicle moves faster than 15 to 20 mph when driving down. When a change in grade is sensed, hill descent control automates the driver's speed to descend down the steep grade safely. [40]
A team or driver who qualifies and starts a race but only runs a small number of laps to avoid using up resources (tires, parts, pit crew effort, etc.). The team or driver will intentionally drop out of the race, placing last or near to last, but will still collect the corresponding prize money and championship points. [67] steward

On the faster speedways and superspeedways used by NASCAR and ARCA, two or more vehicles can race faster when lined up front-to-rear than a single car can race alone. The low-pressure wake behind a group's leading car reduces the aerodynamic resistance on the front of the trailing car, allowing the second car to pull closer.
If you are driving faster than 85 mph, you’ll probably be getting a super speeder ticket which will cost around $200, plus additional fees. A judge may also order you to complete a driving course.
A driver's competition licence only is for cars 7.50 to 8.99 seconds, and his car goes faster than 7.49 seconds. In Junior Dragster, a driver goes faster than the absolute limit imposed by his competition licence or is warned two times during a meeting: Drivers age 5 cannot be faster than 20.00 seconds in the eighth mile during their solo passes.
Vehicle dynamics is the study of vehicle motion, e.g., how a vehicle's forward movement changes in response to driver inputs, propulsion system outputs, ambient conditions, air/surface/water conditions, etc. Vehicle dynamics is a part of engineering primarily based on classical mechanics.
