I kind of agree with the op, depending on the time of day.
Driving (for me) from home-work-home is a chore.
The traffic is jammed packed, and if you leave space (like some one else said) then another car/truck will just squeeze in that spot.
Example.
yesterday, I was going home. I was behind a 90's model ford ranger in the left lane, passing a line of slower cars in the right lane, and a few large trucks.
A silver mustang (v-6) gets RIGHT on top of me, (we are not even doing the speed limit f.y.i) This guy is so close I bet he is about 2' from my hitch step, I can tell you that he was wearing a brown dress jacket, black tie and white shirt, has short black hair and he had his drivers window down.
Well, this guy is tailgating me, so I speed up hoping to persuade the ranger in front of me to speed up (at least to the speed limit) or get over when he can.
So now, here I am with a mustang up my ***, my close to a ranger and a line of traffic on my right. Behind the mustang some other car and a few more behind it.
Would it really have been so hard for the guy to at LEAST drive the speed limit?
So we get a little room and a open spot on the right, the mustang squeezes by me and goes on under and past the light.
The guy in front of me acts like he is going to go on (we are right on top of the light) makes it HALF way in the intersection and Friggin STOPS!
W.T.F?

Then I start tailgating him.

Nothing grinds my gears more than idiots talking on the cell phone in the passing lane. In texas the left lane is for passing only. I HATE having to go around people in the slow lane. 75% of the time when I finally get to passing them, they are on the cell phone. And its not like they cant see me.

Its pretty dang simple if you are close enough that you hit the vehicle in front when they stop for any reason then you are to close, it doesn't matter if there is ice on the road or snow or if you leave 500' of skid mark you are to close.

I kind of agree with the op, depending on the time of day.
Driving (for me) from home-work-home is a chore.
The traffic is jammed packed, and if you leave space (like some one else said) then another car/truck will just squeeze in that spot.
Example.
yesterday, I was going home. I was behind a 90's model ford ranger in the left lane, passing a line of slower cars in the right lane, and a few large trucks.
A silver mustang (v-6) gets RIGHT on top of me, (we are not even doing the speed limit f.y.i) This guy is so close I bet he is about 2' from my hitch step, I can tell you that he was wearing a brown dress jacket, black tie and white shirt, has short black hair and he had his drivers window down.
Well, this guy is tailgating me, so I speed up hoping to persuade the ranger in front of me to speed up (at least to the speed limit) or get over when he can.
So now, here I am with a mustang up my ***, my close to a ranger and a line of traffic on my right. Behind the mustang some other car and a few more behind it.
Would it really have been so hard for the guy to at LEAST drive the speed limit?
So we get a little room and a open spot on the right, the mustang squeezes by me and goes on under and past the light.
The guy in front of me acts like he is going to go on (we are right on top of the light) makes it HALF way in the intersection and Friggin STOPS!
W.T.F?

I can go 10 above the speed limit and there's still a punk riding up my ***. Makes me want to huck a brick out the window and bean him.

I know it's not his seminal role but every time I see Lee J. Cobb all I can think of is role as Cramden in the Flint movies.
