Perfectly true around here! That's why m-way pile-ups are often so horrific. People do not leave enough of a gap to the car in front as they're determined to stop someone pulling in to the gap making them 0.58 seconds later for work. Trouble is it happens so infrequently (in reality) that everyone gets complacent and the gaps shorten, so when the innevitable happens it is carnage.
