Anyone complaining about how dangerous drafting is- for your own sanity stay away from Massachusetts. On the major routes there, one car length at any speed is all too common and two car lengths is an invitation to merge. I nether practice or endorse this but I see it every day.
On the other hand, if you wait to see brake lights before slowing, you are too late. In close traffic, look two or more cars ahead of the one you follow. If you can't see that far ahead, you are too close.
