acceleraphobia

Your definition is of acceleration is wrong. People do legitimately have a fear of acceleration, but such people have no fear of speed. It's simply the rate at which one arrives at that speed that causes discomfort. Therefore, someone with a fear of acceleration can quite comfortably travel at 70 mph on a motorway, but they're not going to floor the accelerator in first gear, because that's just stupid and only morons drive like that.

Travelling from 0 to 30 mph by flooring the accelerator in first gear and reving up the engine on purpose to make a noise like a complete and utter twat.

acceleraphobia

Fear of the gas pedal. Characterized by erratic braking, persistent traffic obstruction and speeds of more than 5mph under the limit. Prevalent mainly in central/south Florida and Branson, Missouri. Often accompanied by acute Blinkeritis.

Rush hour traffic was especially horrendous today. Seems like half the population of Tampa has acceleraphobia.
