This is one of many reasons I am in favor of high speed trains as a means of transportation. Or, fully automated cars which drive themselves via GPS and/or sensors embedded in the road bed. This would take the stupid factor out of it.

Absolutely correct. I took the ferry home like I typically do to avoid the NYC traffic and the absolute worst of the DB's.
But, I couldn't go the last 15 miles from the ferry to my house without getting involved with another DB. Apparently, this DB thinks that I must accelerate the SD to maintain a 15' following distance when the light turns green...........otherwise he's not happy. And, what does the DB do? He turns on his high beams to let me know that I'm not accelerating fast enough and keeping a short enough following distance.
Fully automated cars would be a panacea. Anything to avoid the stupidity of the majority who must get to the next red light faster than you.
