    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.
