    I wish more officers would write that ticket. And not just to trucks. Bust the four wheelers too. Following too close is one of the major reasons we have multiple vehicle pileups all of the time.

    There is no excuse for it. Especially for Cdl holders. We are supposed to be professionals.

    I worked with a guy at WTI that got a well deserved $1.300 citation in Joplin mo for tailgating a mother and her 5 kids.Guys need to use common sense and back off.

    Innocent until PROVEN guilty. You don't have to be perfect to stay out of jail.
