I was going to reference the same video to show how an individual CAN in fact affect the flow of traffic for everyone else. One person hitting the brakes causes a chain reaction.
okay so what if somebody has to brake because they got cut off or something
The person cutting off is most likely the problem.
They need to match speed and merge in where there is space; if you see traffic merging in to your lane, leave space for them (drop speed by ~2 kph) so you don’t have to brake.
I hardly ever use my brakes on the highway, so idk how to respond to that. A lot of generalizations don’t really function anyway due to local driving cultures and infrastructure.

The person who changed lanes without enough space/speed caused the traffic jam.
It’s a terrible system of transportation and we all want to get off the road as fast as possible.
How’s tailgaiting help with this?
Oh, you know, fair. I wasn’t focusing on the tailgating aspect. Maintain a safe distance at all time frfr
Or if they were tailgating and had to brake suddenly rather than smoothly because they don’t have a large following distance?

If your driving philosophy assumes everyone is always gonna merge safely, you’re gonna be jerking on the brakes a lot, at the very least.
