Texas Transportation Code §545.062 requires drivers to maintain a safe following distance — not defined by a specific number of seconds, but by what is 'reasonable and prudent.' Tailgating at highway speeds gives a driver fractions of a second to react to a slowdown or stop, making rear-end crashes almost inevitable. We use dashcam footage, traffic camera video, and crash reconstruction to demonstrate the following distance a driver was maintaining at the time of impact and show why it was unreasonable under the conditions on that day on that Fort Worth road.
