    It all starts with someone in the passing lane, not passing, and one or more pissed off people behind them :)

    The pissed off people trying to get around causes the wave of people behind them to brake and it snowballs from there.

      Yeah I drive around 3 hours on the highway every several weeks. Sometimes on my drive, there’s obviously traffic. A lot of times it will be something like rush hour traffic, a crash, construction, etc.

      But then like…a good portion of the time when I come to the very front of the “clog”, I find that it is just a blockade of multiple people going incredibly slowly and taking up all lanes of traffic, refusing to move over despite the fact that they are going under the speed limit.
