If more drivers would actually choose a speed and stick to it, many of these tailgating opportunities simply wouldn’t happen. This is the basis of my thinking and probably why it is unintelligible to others.

Really???

Then what is the need for more than one lane, if the design is for constant speed?

I guess YOU never need to be in the left lane, because you will be maintain the same speed as the person in front of you. This alone should fix all of YOUR problems.
