I think that driving close to the car in front of you is the number 1 cause of accidents. Much more dangerous than driving fast.

Reality is that the traffic cops seldom ever cite for tailgating in general. If one were to see a citation for such, it is likely after an accident where the officer can deduce that the cause was "following too closely" and so they then issue the citation.
