No, that is not a typo, it's a term I actually coined specifically because of how much I dislike these people. It stands for Three Invisible Car Drivers.

Basically, those people who feel the need that the cushion between them and the car in front of them has to be wide enough to fit a sixteen wheeler comfortably. As if there were three more, invisible cars that only they can see and have to accommodate for, which led to the term.

you would not like me behind the wheels lmao. I hate driving and it scares me, so I'm only comfortable on the road when I have 3 full seconds of space, or in general enough to fit probably 2 cars, the 3rd if they had little room between them. I do go the speedlimit  though, just with the buffer. Except when its rainy or icy. I understand why you don't like it, but driving is dangerous and sometimes I don't have the greatest reaction times and creating a larger amount of time to react in makes me feel safer

I tend to glance over as I go past them, and they're usually distracted in some way or another. On the phone, digging through a glove compartment, taking notes on a notepad. That sort of thing.

You could always phone them in. A lot of states have distracted driving laws and these people are breaking them. Studies show, after all, that using a hand-held cell phone while driving is statistically as dangerous as driving while drunk.

Of course, other studies also show that using hands-free phone systems while driving is statistically as dangerous as using a hand-held phone while driving, so pick your poison.
