Seeing that we are now bringing up the "truth" and "catch him red handed".

Lets do a little math here.

If we travel at 120 KM/H that gives us for every Min we have traveled 2 KM.
TomTom states that every 2 mins it does an update of traffic which is 4 KM.

So the route you take aside from how many "RED Dots" you see before you set on your route is relevant.

Seeing that the most anyone can see on your smartphone screen is what 3 to 4 Km's. (could be more)
Then all the "RED Dots" of traffic mean nothing only the ones on your route if there is traffic showing in that 3 to 4 Km window on your screen.

It is great to see as one sits at their desk and looks at TomTom NDS before a route is put in to see all the "Red Dots"

Now if you do a 200, 300, or 400 km route or longer those "Red Dots" do not show past your 100 KM radius or help you because they are not there.

The only thing that is helpfull is the updates every 2 mins on traffic on the route you are driving on.
Nothing else matters even if you have 100 KM radius of traffic.

TomTom NDS does its calculations based on that and only updates your route every 2 mins. (aka 4 Km)

So, so much for the "truth" and "catch him red handed" that you point out about me......
