size (84 => 4 ahead and 1 behind).
When the car behind you is passed by another car, there will be 2 cars
visible behind for about one second. The display of the second car behind is
based purely on prediction by the client in that case, as the server stops
sending the second car's data as soon as it is passed.
The server always sees all cars. I'll make that explicit when I have time to
redo the page.
