Good math Ken.

If you do that, you surely won't have a line of MINIs. There's no way we'll get away with six car lengths between each car without many people ruining it. Plus, this coming from an "aggressive driver", you're going to have to drive "aggressively" to catch back up once two or three or four people get between everyone.
Sorry to be so sinical, but that's the way it is.

HOPEFULLY, people will notice it's a line of MINI's and try not to break it, but they'll be trying to get off on their exits, and of course jumping into the left lane immediately after getting on the beltway.

We'll have to do the best we can, but I'm sure most of you DON'T leave "one car length per 10 MPH" in everyday traffic.

Just trying to be a realist.
