§ 31-5-210 — Following too closely

(a) The driver of a vehicle shall not follow another
vehicle more closely than is reasonable and prudent, having due
regard for the speed of the vehicles and the traffic upon and
the condition of the highway.
(b) The driver of any vehicle when traveling upon a
roadway outside of a business or residence district, and which
is following another vehicle shall, whenever conditions permit,
leave sufficient space so that an overtaking vehicle may enter
and occupy the space without danger.
(c) Motor vehicles being driven upon any roadway outside
of a business or residence district in a caravan or motorcade

allow sufficient space between each vehicle or combination of

such space without danger. This provision shall not apply to
funeral processions.
