Thank you for noticing this. It’s a pet peeve of mine to see spurt drivers accelerate towards a braking situation and then just have to brake harder.

Additional costs: extra fuel consumption, extra exhaust emissions, extra wear and tear on engine, extra wear of brakes, extra chance of damaging accident, extra arms-race stress on other drivers in adjacent lanes.

Addition benefits of spurt driving: none, since they still have to wait for the braking situation, they aren’t saving any travel time
