On any road around Sydney, a two second gap is enough for two or three cars to cut in in front of you. Traffic lights make the road an ABS test track. SWMBO saw three cars cut in on a semi the other day. He had left himself space to stop for the lights and had to change lanes (fortunately there was a gap) to avoid the third one.
