Safe Following Distance: I do my very best to either follow the "1 car-length for every 10 mph" or 3-second rule.

Unfortunately, this creates a gap between you and the vehicle in front of you which gives some smart-Alec the opportunity to shoot into. This creates the exact same problem one has been attempting to avoid in the first place.

You can't win if there are idiots on the road. Driving defensively is the only way to reasonably try to keep ones' self safe.
