Completely agree. I hate being behind things when I can't see around them, it makes me nervous. Along the same lines, I have problems with people who don't look past the car in front of them and thus have to slam on the brakes because they can't anticipate something.

I was driving along in relatively moderate traffic the other day, everyone going 60, no slow downs, just a lot of cars. I was about 4-5 car lengths back or so behind a car that was probably 2 car lengths behind the car in front of him. This guy hit his brakes no less than 50-60 times in a period of about 7-8 miles. Can't you just give a little space and anticipate if you need to slow down or speed up a little. It's more work driving when you have to jump back and forth from each pedal every 10 seconds.

The other thing is that people in WA don't know how to merge to save their life. I think that the driving test should include merging, and unless traffic makes it necessary, pulling onto the freeway at <50mph (in a 60 zone, I'm being nice here) should be an instant fail.
