That’s unusual

I notice that it only takes a few cars going under the speed limit on a multi-lane road to slow everyone else down

Once you are trapped behind them here its hard to change lanes till all traffic is slowed down by the jam.

I saw a 18-wheeler do something that helps out a lot.
When traffic is heavy on the highway where there are no lights or stop signs to disrupt the flow, he got in the middle lane and gave the vehicle ahead of him a LONG distance. Everyone around kept pace, changed lanes, and traffic kept moving. Sure, everyone wasn’t doing the posted speed limit, but at least it wasn’t stop-and-go the whole while. Traffic flowed smooth and constant.
I can’t understand how riding on the bumper of the car in front of you somehow makes you get to your destination any faster.

If you drove a “car” instead of a tonka toy you would have the horsepower to make your lane change!

If it hasn’t got 300 HP or more it’s not a car!
