Hot tip: if your bumper to bumper during congestion or construction periods. You need to have at least 2-3 (minimum 1) car spaces between you and the car/truck in front of you. This way you’ll maintain a steady speed (maybe btwn 2-9 mph) rather than coming to complete halt every stretch.
That just invites people to keep pulling in front of you, and now you're driving slowly while the lane in front of you is moving faster, and you've become the traffic jam.
Just like like my comment - you got hooked for no reason. The congestion is already there why are you gonna pile up.. on a queue..
You try to keep 3 car spaces in front of you. Someone pulls in front of you, so now there's only 2 spaces. So when traffic starts moving again, you stay still and wait for there to be 3 spaces. Then somebody pulls in front of you, so there's only 2 spaces in front of you, so you stop and wait for there to be 3 spaces in front of you....
Everybody behind you is going slower now because you won't match the speed of traffic.
(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.
Even hotter tip: on a highway, if the line on your right is free, switch to it. Left line(s) is only for overtaking.
Once drivers learn this simple rule, speed limits can be lifted on certain highway parts so whoever wants to go faster now can fulfill their desire.
Edit: I did check few stats about fatal car accidents. I am very surprised that Germany has many road sections without a speed limit and is #15 on the least fatal car accident country, while US is #114. In fact, Germany's fatality rate on the road been steadily decreasing since 1970s with a slight increase at 1991-1992.
Funny how the country that has no speed limits and mostly 3 lines per direction roads is one of the safest countries to drive in. US should take notes.
But but but but
(Continuing on the meta where slowbros and campers took aim at a bumper sticker that said "keep right" with strawmen)
Yep. Tailgating causes fullstops.
