They dont look past 6 inches in front of their bumper...
Here in Los Angeles, its 6 lanes wide of Prius' going 58 1/3 mph, including the carpool lane! 99% of drivers dont realize the left lane is for passing and slower traffic keeps right. 65 or 85 or 35, the left lane is for passing!
When someone is on my ass and I am in the left lane, that means I should speed up or move over. It is annoying when I am doing that and theyre still riding my ass lol, but hey it worked we all got out of each others way...
I dont get how they can feel safe barreling along perfectly next to each other in parallel, when they could easily stagger a bit or fall in single file. But then I look over and see oblivious blank stares.
I should start recording some of stuff I see, its like worlds dumbest drivers x10
