NJSA 39:4-89, tailgating, or following too closely, is a serious traffic violation. If convicted, the driver will be assessed 5 motor vehicle points. In some circumstances, motor vehicle surcharges may result in addition to heavy fines. License suspension is also a possibility. If you have been charged with tailgating, you should contact a New Jersey attorney prior to your first court date. An experienced traffic ticket lawyer can help you avoid the harsh penalties associated with this offense.

39:4-89. Following; space between vehicles

Before going to LS&P Lawyers, I consulted 3 immigration law firms and all of them told me they can't help me and will not be responsible for me being deported back to the Philippines. At LS&P Lawyers, the attorneys told me that I will get my green card and showed me the legal basis. I felt greatly relieved and a new hope emerged. I'm so thankful to God for this blessing and commend LS&P Lawyers because I am now a green card holder. Conrado B.
