When everyone is tailgating behind you, the problem in most cases is actually car centric infrastructure and the fact that traffic past a certain density stops behaving like individual motor vehicles and starts to behave like a fluid (similar things go for dense crowds of pedestrians, btw).
People are too selfish to slow down to the speed of the traffic clump and leave some buffer room, but it seriously makes driving on a shitty busy road a lot more bearable.
Sure, but that still does not absolve an individual of being a responsible driver.
This is the rock stacking thread all over again.
