Following Too Closely

Follow Too Closely is a ticket that can be issued by a police officer.  It carries a fine and 4 points if you are convicted.  It is important to avoid following other cars on the road too closely.  Sudden stops can lead to collisions and improper space between cars can cause grid lock which can result in motorists receiving a Spill Back ticket.  Be aware of your surroundings while driving, make sure you always have a safe distance between your own vehicle and the one in front of you.
