You aren't solving traffic as an individual driver anyway. Sorry to burst everyone's atomized bubble here but that's complete nonsense.

If you manually maintain a large gap in front of you, everyone behind you becomes complete weirdos.

We could "solve traffic" by not requiring single occupant car drives to accomplish everything in our daily lives.

    You’re quite literally incorrect and talking out of your ass

    You're right of course, the reason traffic exists is because you, DancingBear, cannot be on every roadway in America at the same time.

    Seriously dude, have you ever been in traffic? I'm not talking about a small slowdown on a one, two lane, or even four lane road. I'm talking about sitting on the 5 or the 101 in any of the multiple times it becomes a parking lot daily.

    Manually maintaining a large gap in front of you is not solving that shit, and it's frankly ridiculous to suggest that it will.

    Do you also believe that only you can prevent forest fires? Or that we can recycle our way out of climate change?

    Get real. Uncoordinated individual actions cannot solve systemic problems.

    In the case of traffic, keeping a larger following distance can quite literally solve the stop and go break waves that occur…

    Trying to race ahead and get ahead by one car at a time makes the problem worse.

    That’s all this is saying.

    You can not solve the problem ahead of you, you can only affect the traffic behind you.
