If the law does not specifically state a legal following distance in seconds, then you should be successful on appeal, no?

Less than 3 seconds is hardly prudent .
Part B would be hard to comply with . It's takes a lot of space for a passing vehicle to be able to enter and have a safe interval between all vehicles.

 

I think from a practical stand point, you would just be wasting more money with an appeal. Sometimes you just have to take your lumps, even when it doesn't seem right to you. I'm not going to remark on the merits of this case one way or the other as there I didn't see it.

But it is interesting that the magistrate "took it under advisement," and then found you guilty.

 

I can't understand why you got out of the left lane in the first place . Because the camper flashed you ? The truck in front of you hit his brakes and seeing brake lights you let off the throttle . What if he had continued to brake harder ?

 

The driver that backed it down in front of you is the idiot here. The speed limit there is 75, and he's probably going like 68 to 70 and then panics when he sees the cop, and it ends up you getting screwed.

 

the amount of idiots on the road is unreal....(in ref. to the post above about idiots...)
