Unfortunately to say, you have to break the law a little bit for some peace of mind. That isn't to say that if I see traffic piling up a couple yards in front of me I'll coast to it. Kinda pointless to rush into a cloud of traffic only to have to stop. The less cars surrounding you, the safer you are.
This is traffic in pretty much any large city in the world. In fact it can be much worse in some places.

How do you do that!? I didn't know this was possible. All I've ever heard about is people modding for gains. (serious question as I am fairly noob to the car enthusiast world)

I'm in Jacksonville and have a one hour drive each day doing the stupid accordion. Drives me freaking nuts. People around here refuse to leave a little gap for fear that one car may get in front of them and delay their arrival by 300ms. So because they bunch up so much, no one can merge and there is at least one accident in the morning and at least one in the afternoon. EVERY freaking day. Also, it isn't stop and go. It's stop and text then go. Or, stop and text then go and text and stop when your rear end someone.

There was a RS2 in front of me in the TH drive through this morning. Not only was I disgusted that there was another FRS he cost me 30 seconds in getting to work. I am so upset I haven't even started working yet.

If I saw a fancy schmancy RS2 before I had my morning double double I would probably be upset as well and may or may not proceed to google pictures of RS2 interiors and swear at my computer all day in jealous anger.

I lived in florida for 3 years. There are evil people everywhere though. No matter where you are there is always someone wanting to go faster than you. That is why you take their plate number and call the police if they do something evil.
