What is so wrong in applying a governer to all engines.

The first time a driver needed to use acceleration
and didn't have it to avoid a fatal accident, the
requirement would be in deep dodo.

For instance, on a long straightaway with no
oncoming traffic, someone decides to pass a
couple of 18-wheelers. The car following that
one decides to do the same thing. Suddenly
ahead, a car pulls into the oncoming lane from
a side road. Emergency acceleration would save
lives but it's not available due to a governor.
Five children are killed. Imagine the outrage.
