    No mental gymnastics needed. The laws of physics don’t give a fuck about who obeys the traffic laws and who doesn’t. As long as people keep the same distance between cars we should be safe.

      What are you arguing? It’s not the obligation of the driver ahead to make sure the car behind them keep their distance.

        Sure, but you can do it by matching the speed of the car behind you, therefore making both of you more safe.

        Actually, it is a driver’s job to avoid and/or mitigate a wreck by any means necessary. The only mental gymnastics taking place are yours. You’re arguing against the wording of multiple driver’s manuals.
