Agreed. I wonder if he was multitasking when the ICC guard came through the windshield.

Yep. That’s what I noticed too.

When on the freeway, most people tend to multitask (text, eat, look at the scenery). I only do it when there are no cars near me that could come within touching me within a certain time frame. Some of what I know I’ve learned the hard way, some from the mistakes of others. Which reminds me, I HIGHLY recommend to young drivers that they watch a LOT of those russian (and now quite a few from the US) dash cam crash videos. A LOT can be learned from them.

My wife does this routinely as a front seat passenger, much to my irritation.

Distance between cars should be one car length per every 10 mph, or at least 10 car lengths at 60 mph.

Almost every time I am on the Interstate, if I leave room for 10 cars at 60 mph, 10 cars pull into that space.

Yes, when I drive in metro Atlanta, I can never maintain the appropriate distance. That is when it is all the more important to be constantly vigilant.

On rural interstates, it is not hard to maintain a safe distance.
