Mavic,
Seriously. You're playing semantics. People follow the law. The likelihood of a collision is reduced to a vastly lower level. That was the intention of my support for what Matt said. If I wasn't clear, then I apologize. Bear in mind, if you're driving slowly, the person behind will in turn be forced to slow down. If he/she is following the law, paying attention, etc, then it will be a non-issue. Maybe an inconvenience to those who break the law but that's their problem.
My jaw dropped when you said this: "If the car in front slows down and I have to slow down because of it, it causes my brakes to wear, I have to use more gas to accelerate up to speed and it takes time out of my life. Those are all certainly problems someone can experience even if they're following the law."
With all due respect, the above statement is ridiculous.
