Sometimes the car in front of you is a giant box van and you don't know what's going on beyond him, and he's already across the intersection at full speed. Again, no warning.
That would be called "following too closely" around these parts. Doesn't matter that if you leave a 10 foot gap to the car in front of you that 3 people will try and cram their giant SUVs in there at once while talking on their phone.
