That’s frequently not the choice of the driver. An adequate follow distance provides a luxurious ampunt of space for someone to merge into, forcing you to slow to extend the follow distance, which allows more people to merge… etc.
Then… what? You’re coming back days later to “no u” a comment that lays out pretty explicitly an exception to what you’re presenting as a blanket rule. Do you… disagree? Are you just inexperienced enough with driving to not have had that happen to you? Adjusting to driving conditions takes time - even if it’s only for 6-7 seconds per incident, that’s still time where you’re forced to follow far too close to another car without an ability to prevent the situation from arising. You seem like you don’t understand that, sometimes, other people can be responsible for the situations you are put in through no fault of your own. Or, you’re a sith. A driving sith.
if you have an adequate following distance you never need to brake hard
