No, I'm afraid I am unwilling to peruse the vehicle code while driving 55mph. 21703. The driver of a motor vehicle shall not follow another vehicle more closely than is reasonable and prudent, having due regard for the speed of such vehicle and the traffic upon, and the condition of, the roadway. I would have had a bit of difficulty had I searched for "tailgaiting." Ain't no law agin that, for those of you from outside of ca.driving. >
