If they do, I just let them race up to the front of the gap and then fall back by a single car length to restore the same gap. * Even though you'd assume leaving a huge gap in front is an invitation for other motorists to cut ahead, they rarely do - especially in congestion. I've had people follow me for hundreds of kilometres this way.
* Some other drivers seem to figure out what I'm doing, and they fall into place behind me at a reasonable distance. * It's possible to drive through even wildly erratic traffic (swinging from 100 km/h to 20 km/h) without ever touching the brakes. * Driving in congestion is no longer stressful.
On long driving trips through mixed traffic, I have made several observations, some obvious and some surprising: Now I follow what I affectionately call the "zen of driving", to wit: leave a huge gap in front of me, drive at a constant speed where possible, avoid using the brakes except in case of emergency, and so on. I changed my driving patterns after first reading this remarkable essay some years ago.
