I've noticed this too and this is why I leave at least 5 car lengths in front of me, sometimes even more. I can see around the vehicle in front of me no problem, and can absorb the energy for those rush hour random stops. It seems like 9 out of 10 people follow with less than 3 car lengths, even at 60 to 80mph. This leaves no room for error and anecdotally I've seen it bite people many times. The 5+ car length strategy has served me extremely well in many years of a 2 hour commute. I can't remember once where I had to panic brake due to being surprised by a random 70mph to 0mph stop, and I can only assume that I'm helping drivers behind me get to their destination safely as well due to absorbing that slinky effect. The only con is people jump in front of me here and there, but that doesn't bother me one bit.
