Harry,

Just to add a bit to what John said;

A special effect can be applied to a clip up to 6 times. In the case of the
speed-up double effect (I can see that your use of it is a good one), the
speed doubles with each additional application. If you had a 20 minute
driving segment, applying it from one to 6 times would result in the clip
playing in:

1 x - 10 min
2 x - 5 min
3 x - 2-1/2 min
4 x - 1-3/4 min
5 x- 52 seconds
6 x - 26 seconds

The effect is additive, so each time it's applied it doubles the speed of
the previous time.

And, if you need a more precise and different speed, you could make and use
a custom effect.
