I hate it so much when people do that with their cars. It just makes the traffic jam much longer than it needs to be, possibly even extending it over the previous exit. It's not rational, it's just plain stupid and annoying.

Depends. Bigger gaps mean the traffic jam will get better faster since it reduces the stop and go. Ofc the gaps need to be reasonable but the people driving bumper to bumper make it even worse

If everyone followed the one rule "keep as much space in front of me to the next car, as there is behind me to the next car, at all times" it would do the most to alleviate most traffic jams.

keep as much space in front of me to the next car, as there is behind me to the next car, at all times

this is the right way.
