[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is the cost of business. Yes, you're responsible. Tell her going forward, to leave more space between her and the car in front of her, so if a car stops short she has more space to stop without hitting them. [/quote]

Stop assuming that she was following too closely.  The car in front came to abrupt stop and rear ending can easily happen. [/quote]

that's pretty much the definition of following too closely.  Hence the 3 second rule, which nobody seems to follow.[/quote]

The "3 second rule" is a cute idea but leaving that much space means someone's just going to cut in front of you and close that gap.[/quote]

Sure, if you follow the 3 second rule, people will cut in front of you. That’s when you ease up until you have a new three second gap.  It’s easier when they give you notice they’re moving over, so you can start giving them space before they get there.

Having to let in  some extra cars may slow me down a little, but it’s not that big a delay.  I’m more focused on getting places safely than getting there fast. If a nanny (or anyone) was driving my kids, I’d certainly want safety to be their top priority. [/quote]
