    On the road, 4 cars would take more space lined up one behind another.

    I don’t know what the law is where you live but i know what it is where i live, so excuse my weird metrics for a sec while i explain how wrong what you said is.

    In order to facilitate proper reaction time for yourself as the driver, you must have about two “seconds” (as in if you stared at the road beneath the car in front of you, your car would be there in about two seconds) between your car and the one in front of you.

    Meaning the faster the vehicles are, the larger the gaps, and if we’re talking 4 vehicles, it’s 3 gaps.

    For maneuverability’s sake, it’s worth mentioning the “wave propagation” that happens during brake time, but I won’t get into it.












  • Not OP, but look, if someone, let’s say a stranger, has nefarious motives, they have an incentive to fake their mannerisms, this means relying on your empathy and social intelligence alone is a mistake since they may be used as a vector of attack.

    In order to be safe, one must make sure they are not harmed or endangered in any way, this includes avoiding certain situations with strangers.

    Also, don’t just randomly pathologize people just because you don’t understand where they are coming from, even if done with no harm in mind, you will come off as very disrespectful.
