Well, obviously I don't actually know, and I don't really care either.
But the thing is that the traffic I merged with had already, which I
noticed today driving the stretch, suffered another merge just ~100 feet
earlier. So obviously they weren't too keen on keeping a distance to the
car ahead, and while I could have taken "my" space, ramming the car into
the ditch, that would definitely have resulted in a long, or very short,
conversation with my boss about using the company trucks as bumper
cars... :-)
