I'm kinda in between. When the car in front of me drives off and stops I'll creep slowly with my car 50% of the time I can keep a slow pace without start and stop.
That's not a problem, in fact it even helps the flow. What I meant was when folks keep an excessive distance to the next car, like in the OP (that lady could advance like, 10 places or so, translated into car lengths that would be 50 meters).
There are people who literally turn off their engine and don't start it again until they can go for 100 meters or more. This wastes road space and encourages lane-hopping, which also makes the traffic jam worse.
