Following too closely

The Court of Criminal Appeals has affirmed a drug conviction in which a Drug Task Force officer stopped a pickup for following a car too closely. The Memphis officer, Kevin Perry, did a very good job of describing the violation and referred to the Rules of the Road, which the Court cited. The Rules indicate that a driver must leave a 2 second gap between his vehicle and the one in front to permit the following vehicle to brake to a stop safely.
