I read a study once that covered the stop and go traffic wave effect. Apparently all you have to do to stop the wave propagation as have a couple of drivers with a two - three car buffer. The first person to not have to come to a stop in the wave has the power to more or less reset and stop the wave.
You don’t, some will get ahead of you but not everybody does that, and the same assholes that are swerving to get ahead of you are the ones that cause the propagation of the wave. You’re slowing down a little bit and accepting some leakage makes it that much better for the whole crowd

How do you prevent people from squeezing into your buffer?
