  how many cars length do you keep behind? I usually keep two but seems like drivers from the other lane will like to cut in. Am I too far off?

  Huh? Really? You kidding, right? Or maybe I really do have "good defensive" aka kiasu/kiasee driving skills?
  
  But seriously, only 1/4-1/2 car length, can brake in time or not?

  for safety sake, give more car lengths allowance
  
  I keep 2 car lengths during normal circumstances, when pressing for time, it will be 1/4 car length.
  
  if you worry about braking in time, then everyone will cut into the lane.
