This is especially apparent when you approach a hilltop, and you see brake lights coming on. This is likely the #1 cause of traffic jams, as the cars going uphill can't see why the brake lights came on, and do real braking as a result. Which transplants backwards until you have a buildup.

The only difference is that a two-foot driver can touch his brakes while giving gas -- if doing that while driving, you'll wear out the brakes. So two-foot drivers don't generally do that, except when it serves a purpose.

I'm sorry, but this is one of the things that "everybody knows" that just ain't so, just like the 10-2 rule or always turning the brights off when you see another car, or parking with the wipers pointing up when expecting frost.
Jeez. I got a headache from reading that. If anyone else can make heads or tails of it please translate for me and be sure to reference how it pertains to the quote.
TIA
