So if your going 50 mph as long as your 17 ft away from the car in front of you your good....?
80 kph = 49.71 mph
5 m = 16.40 ft -
80 km/h... =22.22 m/s
So 5m is minimum following distance, or about 1/4 of a second...
So forget all that they teach us about multiple seconds as speed or other dangers increase, poor visibility or heavy traffic or heavier vehicle or rain/snow on road, just make sure you are a good half second behind and it's all good.
Seems legit...DDlighttruck Thanks this. -
There not judging motorists on driving test standards. They're trying to insure they only target the most dangerous and aggressive drivers. Seems reasonable to me.
Every day, we will all momentarily follow too close either due to our actions or actions of others, if you're judging on "book standards". You want to receive a ticket for all those times?Last edited: Jul 19, 2017

And since it's a construction zone it tends to be a higher fine, without the possibility to plead lower.scythe08, magoo68, Pumpkin Oval Head and 1 other person Thank this. -

I agree with it, ATL has some of the most arrogant,stupid,dumb-##s drivers on the planet. Can rarely ever go there without being in or seeing dead stop traffic jams everywhere. ATL sucks period.
KB3MMX, bzinger and Ben at GSquared Thank this. -
One police car against 60,000 potential tailgaters is not enforcement.
If you do not have enough room to stop quick, you are tailgating. -
Dharok, KB3MMX, x1Heavy and 1 other person Thank this.
