He’s concerned about being hit from behind because of someone else following too closely. He can’t do anything about that. What he can do is reduce the likelihood of needing to slow down quickly, which can be done by not following too closely. When I’m followed closely, I increase my own following distance. This gives me more time to slow down so that the close follower has more time to slow down, or more time to look up from his phone and see that he needs to slow down. You can’t control what others do; you can only put yourself in the best situation you can find.
