(Depends are you in stretches of congestion or are is it all clear?) Okay what’s the point if there traffic ahead. You’re gonna speed up to get up to that car who jumped in the lane to come to complete stop?
I see various types of stop gaps in 30 mi stretches and seen phantom stops for reason (or ppl on their cell phones¿)
My friend, no disrespect but I’d like to keep steady speed (albeit it’s 2 or 5mph) than come up to a cars rear bumper and sniff their exhaust pipe.
It’s not about making sure I’m close. It’s about not increasing the traffic issues.
If you’re working so hard to keep multiple car-lengths of distance in congested traffic, you’re required to travel slower than traffic. The lane you’re in travels more slowly for anyone behind you.
Yeah, people in the next lane over can pull in front of you and relieve traffic in that lane, but that just results in more lane switching in front of and behind you, leading to more fender benders.
