I put my hybrid into sport mode when I actually need the acceleration, like quick highway merges or cramped city turns in traffic. If I kept it in eco mode like I normally do, or even just normal mode, the acceleration would be limited and I’d either be unable to merge or would cause an accident.

Yeah drivers in my area are shitty, I know. Unfortunately I can’t flip a switch and change their behavior.

Also sometimes it’s just plain fun to go zoom (when safe, obviously).
