Too bad if you slam on the brakes at that point to avoid a potential fine. Some people would be silly enough to do it too.
At 100kmh a 2-3 second gap to the vehicle in front is around 55-80metres. Do you leave that sort of margin when you travel?

It was mentioned earlier, a lot of these situations could be improved if the police focussed less on speed and more on the beach of all the other road rules.
