The Rushing Prevention Protocol

 
What’s the worst that could happen if you act normally and don’t rush? This tends to be surprisingly insignificant (e.g. “My friend will be by themselves for 10 minutes” or “I get a little embarrassed for 30 seconds”.)
 
What are the best and worst-case scenarios if you choose to rush? The best will likely be a marginal improvement from acting normally, while the worst may be significant (e.g. Best: You arrive at your destination 5 minutes earlier. Worst: You get a speeding ticket and or get in a crash.)
