following too closely
Bumper-to-bumper recklessness
Following too closely is a traffic violation for driving without enough distance between your vehicle and the one ahead, also called tailgating.
The required distance varies by speed and conditions, but the principle is consistent: maintain enough space to stop safely if the car ahead brakes suddenly.
