This website has changed my life.I work construction and commute at least 2 hours per day.After reading the teachings of William Beaty I can now single-handedly erase traffic jams.I have driven the 15 north from Miramar Road to Escondido during rush hour without hitting the brakes ONCE!!!
Learn advanced techniques like”wave-smoothing” and the all important concept of “The Gap”.Break away from the herd mentality while driving and learn to love your commute.
Herd mentality is hard to avoid. When driving I will use cruise control when traffic allows. I see people passing me then slow down. Doesn’t make much sense.

I notice you don’t say you get to work any faster, only that you didn’t hit your brakes.
Note that I’m one of those who swings all the way around you at the first chance I get.
if you practice this “theory”, please do it in the slow lane.[/quote]
If he’s not hitting his brakes, he’s using less gas too. And less energy in general since his brakes are going to last longer. You should try his technique sometime, if more people did this then there would be a lot less traffic.
I am always the slow guy. I am slow but steady. I keep a lot of braking distance between me and the car ahead of me. I never push it. I always am looking for escape routes.

I always see drivers weaving through traffic in an attempt to “get there” faster and some how I’m always right with them at the exit or even a little ahead. You expend all of that energy for the same result. Not to mention putting those around you at risk.
I also try to average out my speed when traffic slows to a crawl. I use less throttle and do my best not to brake. I don’t much see the point of racing to a red light.
Why are these Cali folk so nice until they step into a car and then feel the need to get to wherever they are heading as fast as possible amped up with rage? They sure aren’t like that in any circumstance outside of driving that’s for sure.
If you keep losing your spacing you are driving too fast, or there is too much traffic to worry about speed and you need to chill out. It’s pretty simple.
