2 months agoAre you seriously driving at speeds of 70 mph in dense urban environments…?
Because, speaking as someone who has lived in many dense urban environments, that’s insane.
The only time you should reach those speeds is on the freeway, in which case, there’s no reason not to maintain safe distances, again, when at those speeds.
And you’re so worried about people getting in front of you, on the freeway, that you instead opt to drive without a safe breaking distance when traveling at 70 mph?
Again, as someone who has lived in, and had daily hell commutes in many dense urban cities, that’s insane.
In your defense, anecdotally, you’re clearly not alone in that mentality.
Personally, I found, over many years, that simply staying in the “slow” lane, while keeping a safe distance, never made my commute meaningfully longer.
