I could not take advantage of the fast-moving lane lane, also people behind use were prevented from getting to the exit lane for much longer than necessary. So the mini driver not only wasted space in front of him/her, but also delayed relasing more space by exiting drivers. Delaying a lot of people behind.
That's a different situation. More down to lane selection and not matching the speed of traffic around you. Not the fact that someone left a gap and maintained that distance. While matching the speed of traffic.

Guise stop arguing about how to drive. Everyone drives their own way because that is the way they think is right. Most of us get where we are going without dying so I guess there is more than one way to get er done.

Ah NOVA, where many drivers continue to go 10-20 under the speed limit after traffic starts to break up. I think they do it because of force of habit.*

*I'm sure this happens elsewhere

I'd safe an excessive gap while maintaining speed is also bad. But I guess we argue mostly because each of us thinks of somewhat different circumstances, if we were to look at a specific traffic situation and judge what specific drivers are doing, we might be in agreement.
