Am i the only one that thinks thats a stupid law? The middle car could
have been following the legal distance ,or stopped, around here as long
as you can see the tires touch the ground of the car infront of you
your in legal limits, that space could be as little as 7 to 15 feet. A
car moving at 25+ mph especally a heavy older car, or a SUV could easly
move a car 50 or more feet opon hiting it in an accident.
