What is the name of your state? North Carolina
Last month I was pulled over for following too close. I was driving a safe distance behind the vehicle infront of me when I hit a pot hole and my soda proceeded to fall on the floor and start spilling, under me. I looked down to see where it was and lowered myself enough so that I could see the top of the car infront and the general direction in which I was going. Upon looking up, the car infront of me had slowed down considerably and I hit my brakes pretty hard. I then realized that an officer was coming down the hill behind me with his lights on. He asked me when the last time I took driver's ed was and... he wrote me up for "following more closely than is reasonable." I just went to the magistrate today and have a court date in June. By explaining the situation to the judge, do you believe that I will have my case dismissed? If not, please offer a suggestion.
