Although that is fairly accurate, it is still responsible to get up to and maintain pace - this is taught in the driving tests these days and failure to make "good progress" will be scored against you and potentially cause a fail if severe enough (typically in the case of dual carriageways).Instructors want you to use the power of the vehicle sensibly and controlled to get up to speed quickly though admittedly there was some focus on "economic" driving a few years back - I'm not sure if they still do that. My instructor never really mentioned it, but my friends from a different company did.Accelerating fast from the lights? Good! (Don't exceed the speed limit though!)Wheelies and burnouts? BAD!
