--- Quote from: Clive on August 12, 2008, 22:05 ---I watched it earlier tonight and have to say it was fascinating to watch how phantom traffic jams are caused by just one person applying his brakes because he finds himself driving too close to the vehicle in front.  That causes the cars behind to brake in sequence until they eventually come to a stop for no reason at all.  Even after the traffic jam has cleared, further jams are formed as the ripple travels for many miles down the motorway.  

--- End quote ---

It's like most crashes, well, all crashes are caused by one person's act of stupidity or moment of lost concentration.  You don't get two drivers intent on crashing into each other!

Edit: Hope they don't zoom in too close.
