Why the F do some drivers leave such a big gap behind the vehicle in
front!
Watched a busy junction yesterday - An ambulance was trying to get
through
but the junction was blocked -Â* several cars further down there
were massive gaps that, if closed up would have left the junction
clear.

Another near me often has cars backing up when the light change -
yet in the distance is someone leaving a 2 car gap in front.
Probably the mentality of "I won't get there any faster if I close
up"


So, every time a gap appears, it's his duty to put it into gear, rev
up, and drive forward. Why, in general, is that a good idea?..


At a level crossing near me, large gaps in the queue result in the
tail of the queue backing up into a roundabout, eventually blocking
traffic from four other roads that lead into it. Better awareness by
some drivers of the effects their actions are having would help.




Exactly the situation I mean.
