Following 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.
