Random traffic slow downs for no good reason

Yesterday I was driving down the highway at 75 mph then suddenly traffic slowed to 5 mph.  After 5 minutes it sped back up to 75 mph and I could see no reason why it should have slowed.  This page gives a reason why this happens.


All it takes is one person to hit their brakes and cause a ripple effect which propagates like a domino effect to the cars behind it.
