    Do you also believe that only you can prevent forest fires? Or that we can recycle our way out of climate change?

    Get real. Uncoordinated individual actions cannot solve systemic problems.

      In the case of traffic, keeping a larger following distance can quite literally solve the stop and go break waves that occur…

      Trying to race ahead and get ahead by one car at a time makes the problem worse.

      That’s all this is saying.

      You can not solve the problem ahead of you, you can only affect the traffic behind you.
