This. After having moved from Germany to California I was astonished with how little safety gap folks leave between each other on the freeway.
In Germany we are taught to keep a lot more gap because the time it takes to break or react will eat up a lot of distance.
The last time I pointed this out I was told: well, I can still steer to the side if that happens.
