The law is that the majority of people look at the car ahead of the car in front of them, and preferably beyond. The only people that get stuck in the situation that you're describing are morons and people who text and drive.
The road is not equevilant to a line up at the bank. This is not sheep following sheep. When you're driving, you watch everyone. You watch everyone to the point where you're using peripheral equally or more than direct vision. If you can't see that there's a total struggler up ahead that's causing a snarl, it's YOUR fault for getting stuck behind him. If you didn't notice that there's a d-bag keeping pace beside you to keep you out of his lane, it's still your fault, no matter how much of a d-bag that guy is.
Never depend on other peoples' goodwill when driving. Plan your trip, stay alert when approaching your turn, and for fudge sakes, don't ever stop on a major thoroughfare because you missed a turn. Instead, turn the opposite way, pull over, and issue yourself an ass-kicking.
