I have noticed that I need to send a little slower in JA pileups than in EU
ones. Not sure why but if I try to speed up past 30 in a JA pileup the pileup
starts to dwindle. If the pileup is unruly I DO speed up.

I slow down to the other’s speed, if necessary, and further if conditions are
poor. I think slowing down just for the sn is counterproductive.
