You are correct but I'm afraid this is not an excuse to drive at speed 2cm from the rear bumper of the car in front of you. I should add this my near daily experience driving to my office in a rural area at 5am when there is just me an

Exactly this, if I want a single item I want to go and buy it and walk out of the store with the least friction possible. One coud argue that this is the reason why Ikea are not nearly as succesful as they could have been. I should also men
