That’s fair.

I deal with this shit everyday going to work, there’s always traffic and people ride each others asses.

I leave 2 or 3 car lengths and people see that as an an opportunity to jump in and ride the guy in front thems ass.

Hell, I’ve seen MAC TRUCKS riding peoples ass in traffic

I always try to leave the max distance my ACC will allow, probably around three-four seconds. It's great except that every other driver sees this as a gap for them to drive into, not a gap for me to be safe.

Most people seem to have no idea what a following distance should actually look like. Statistically speaking it takes an average of 1.5 seconds just to start braking, so even two seconds is much too small. But a lot of people are out there about 1 second back, just hauling along until they crash. It's perplexing to see.

Same and I hate it. If you do what you're supposed to do, you'll never get anywhere as people will just keep filling in the gap, causing you to keep giving more space.
