    On 3+ lane highways, I find I can match the speed of a car in front of me with something like a 100yd/m gap. Faster traffic passes on the left. Eventually, I’m left with a fellow big spacer behind me. There will be a few of us big spacers all big spacin’ together, and it’s very easy for the Racin’ Randys to pass. In heavier traffic, I might see them anxiously tailgating in the left lane a bit ahead. Impatient drivers will break through somewhere behind us big spacers and zoom up to join the tailgating crew.

    Rarely have to use my brakes, and can even make rare lane changes when HIGHLY optimal. Remember taking the same exit as a guy once who I saw change lanes a million times super aggressively half an hour earlier. I changed lanes maybe thrice. Wonder how our blood pressures differed that day - I know our arrival times didn’t.
