No one goes by that stupid thing. I hate them and will never leave 2 "arrows" between me or another car.

A chevron is a symbol like ">". You see it in the highways. You should keep 2 chevrons beetwen you and the next car.

You should. People use to say speed causes accidents. Most of the times going too fast in not the problem, the problem is lack of space to break.

lack of space to break? well... I would think that not braking would lead to something breaking, but I wouldn't know for sure. Cars generally tend to break when there isn't any space left, its braking that the driver needs space for.

LMAO, I know what a Chevron is, I was asking in terms of shapes, what was is the idea beinhd it? Where did the Chevron originate form? It's like you know a rectangle got a little too stressed and decided it couldn't take it anymore.

Can we get somebody on this?

Now I understand your question, but I don't know the answer. However, a rectangle with a nervous breakdown seems very reasonable!
