friction can be used to speed an object up. Take tires on a car for example, if it weren't for friction between the tires and the road, you wouldn't be able to move! How about friction between your shoe and the ground?

Friction is caused when an inefficient system loses energy.
Energy loss could never speed up an object!

It does. Friction between the tire and the road provides force to move the car.

Friction is resistance that is why it slows things down.
To above answers if tires didn't encounter friction of road they would be going faster.
