I was in the right lane and I am sure driving 65 mph or less because that is fastest I drive with the camper loaded (unless I am in heavy traffic and causing a traffic jam with people trying to get around me I might speed up because it becomes a trade off of which is more dangerous speeding up or every car in a traffic jam passing you, as well as it being rude to block traffic)."
Understood, but with respect, you are allowing the traffic to dictate how you drive and 'push' you into an unsafe situation. You are trying to make an excuse for why you were in the position of needing to do the hard braking that you did.
Again, no disrespect intended toward you. I am only commenting from years of LEO work. Every 'incident' that happens and causes vehicle crashes can be analyzed "after the fact" of the incident, by the micro seconds of what every person was doing just prior, during, and immediately after the incident.
In most incidents, had more following distance been a factor, the extra time allowed for a reaction could mean a crash with less damage or prevention of the crash altogether.
You are in control of the 'three foot space' around you whether you are driving or speaking about life in general. You have control of YOUR space and only YOUR space. Allowing others beyond that three foot space to dictate how you conduct yourself is an effort of fruitlessness. Distance is your friend!!!
Enough said, and again, I mean no disrespect.
