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.
In another life I worked for an aircraft parts company. One part I remember well were landing lights for a Boeing 737 aircraft. Wouldn't it be nice to have four of those mounted on the rear of your SD? DB hits his high beams, turn on the switch and he will quickly learn how blind people make their way in this world.....
