Sorry but I'm not buying any of that. The MAIN rule is don't follow too closely. You never know when a dog, child or deer is going to jump out in front of the car you are following. If someone is following too closely at an intersection and the lead car brakes for an amber light the car behind has 100% of the responsibility to stop. Not the camera, not the timing of the amber, nothing.
Yes, but I can't control the motorist behind me.

Which is better: to undertake a course of action which has a 1% chance of resulting an accident which the government will consider to be entirely someone else's fault, or taking a different course of action which will not result in an accident?
Yes, if I get whiplash because I stop and the car behind does not, insurance will cover my medical expenses, but still I'd rather avoid the injury if possible.
