If we assume an arbitrary 2 second gap between vehicles (and two seconds might be a bit large at 80km/h, but let's pick a number), that 10th vehicle has 20 seconds of gap on the hard braker. It will be less because of reacting to the situation ahead of them, but fundamentally they are running 20 seconds behind the situation.
