If everyone would CEASE TAILGATING THERE WOULD BE LESS HUMAN ERRORS ON THE ROAD!  I have driven a million miles without hitting anyone.  Why?  Because I monitor my speed and I keep a 10 seconds/CAR LENGTH of space behind the driver in front of me.  It's not rocket science.  If everyone took the Smith System Driving class, there would be very few "human errors" which we call "accidents" and INSURANCE PREMIUMS WOULD BE MUCH CHEAPER.
