It is a space they can merge. You leave gap in between car to make merging easy, then you release the pedal to slow down to achieve that desired gap again. It's a coop, not competition.

I wish more people thought like you and me. Let's all just be safe on the road together.

Sometimes this is fine and works as expected. Sometimes it ends up with me going way under the speed limit as half of the other lane gets in front of me, as I continue to decelerate to keep proper stopping distance. (Bonus points if the people behind me also pass me because of this.)

It's occasions like those I'm glad I leave some wiggle room in my travel time.
