Didn't we go through this before?  Having a long following distance
ahead of you doesn't mean you are slower traffic.  Usually it just means
you are a more cautious driver.  I don't see why more cautious drivers
are under any obligation to yield to less cautious drivers.

Sometimes the following distance ahead of me grows up to 10 seconds or
so.  Not because I'm driving slow, but because the motorists ahead of me
are so impatient that they all speed up and form a small clump of
vehicles.  Then they all brake sharply and slow down again, and the
following distance ahead of me decreases to 3-4 seconds.  Then they
clump up again.  And so on.  They never seem to learn.
