There are many laws like that, following too close comes to mind. If in doubt, wait to pass until you're sure you have room.

- UnoriginalGuy 11y agoFollowing too close is rarely enforced, and it is a big problem. It appears like technology might help mitigate this one, radar-based systems are becoming more standard and several systems are designed to warn when you travel too close for a given speed. Additionally radar based cruise control means that even if you DO travel too close, the faster reaction of the system might avert a collision.

I noticed that Tesla's new cruise control uses radar and adjusts the speed to maintain adequate distance [1] [1]: http://arstechnica.com/cars/2015/05/review-teslas-new-model-s-p85d-double-your-engines-double-your-fun/ http://arstechnica.com/cars/2015/05/review-teslas-new-model-...
