Oh, and to the nice man with the WWJD sticker in the back of your window? Yeah, see, I'm not 100% on what, exactly, Jesus would do if he were around today, because I'm not omniscient, but based upon what I've read I SERIOUSLY DOUBT that Jesus would cut me off in heavy traffic doing 75 mph and then slam on brakes. I'm just sayin'.

I agree with your sentiment, but following distance does depend on speed. The slower traffic is going, the closer you can get to the car in front of you without compromising safety.

Yeah, in the case of "ma and Pa Kettle" in their RV that I cited above, 3 inches is a nice safe following distance.
