I agree wholeheartedly.  I think the same should be applied to parking
regulations as well, perhaps more urgently.  As far as public safety, I
consider tailgating to be far more dangerous than speeding, in general,
and quite commonplace, since anti-tailgating laws aren't enforced for the
most part.  I suggested that to a friend of mine who recently became a
state trooper; he said he would keep it in mind.
