Beware of Voids in Traffic

A void is simply a large enough space where a car can fit and is surrounded by other cars. Its psychological, when a driver is in heavy traffic and sees a space (void) where he can fit, he will move into it without thought , they probably think, that it’s a spot with their name on it, and they deserve it. This is an example of the physics law, “following the path of least resistance”, like water will rush in to fill en empty space in a vessel. It happens automatically. If a void presents itself on traffic, either totally get out of there before another car takes it. Or you can act preemptive and move right into the middle of it, effectively filling up the space. I usually don’t stay in the voids for too long after I take them because I don’t want to ride in a car lane. I want to ride between them. And also I feel it’s a bit greedy of a cyclist taking all that space when he can easily ride between the cars. Being greedy in traffic is an easy way for drivers to overtake you simply out of spite.
