People in peak traffic are actually insane
I drive in morning 405N traffic daily, and the amount of times people get pissed off that I just cruise at a steady speed is insane. Everyone wants to make traffic worse by constantly accelerating and braking instead.
Had some lady honk at me for just cruising when the car in front was 4 car lengths away at a standstill. She then cuts me off, hits her brakes then flips me off lol.
Some of yalls need to relax and realize you’re not getting anywhere faster by behaving this way.
EDIT: Ok some people are misunderstanding. I’m not leaving 4 car lengths the entire time. The car in front of me accelerates and is at a standstill 4 car lengths away. Instead of me doing the same, I cruise at 15-20mph and catch up within 10 seconds.
EDIT 2: Holy moly, some of you have serious reading comprehension issues. This is MORNING peak traffic, NOT regular driving. I CANNOT go the speed limit if the flow of traffic is <20 mph lol
EDIT 3: Last edit. I encourage you all to look up the chain reaction of constantly accelerating and braking, which has been proven to cause more traffic. I didn’t know this was even up for debate but its clear that half the people here believe the constant motion of accelerating to 30 mph for 5 seconds then sitting at 0 mph for 20 seconds is the way to go
