Cars travelling on interstates in the same direction at significantly
different speeds tend to travel in closely-space clusters.  This would not
be the case if they had been travelling for hundreds of miles because even
the slightest difference in their velocities would cause their dispersal
after such great periods of time/distance.  Obviously the cars have only
been travelling a few minutes.

Despite the sarcasm, the above statement is true:  cars DO tend to travel
in clusters.  But nobody believes that the members of a cluster are the same
across "vast periods of time".
