  • Correct, people are simply too dumb. They think the distance is fine, and it would be in the sense that “when I see the other car break, I too can break”. But then you need to break harder, because you started breaking later. And the car behind you then has to break even harder. Etc. Maybe you even avoid the crash, but the car(s) behind you do not. People severely overestimate their abilities and underestimate breaking distance.
