> Tailgating is, in part, a symptom of inadequate capacity. You are advocating a solution that exacerbates it by reducing carrying capacity.

Why are we still debating something that has been answered by science? Stop assuming your intuitions are correct and look at what the science actually says about how follow distances affect the maximum capacity of a road.

Has it been answered by science? Because some of the studies I've come across list "heavy traffic" as a cause of tailgating. I think you might be speaking with unwarranted confidence.
