Trucks at interstate speed need to maintain a five second safe following distance. That is the way it is taught in training.

That's the way it's taught, but it rarely works in the real world.

If there's a gap in front of you, someone will take it. And if you slow down to increase that gap, another car will take it again. And again. And again.

So it's taught to accelerate and tailgate the car in front of you, knowing that if that car hits their breaks you can't physically stop fast enough? That seems kind of odd.
