Troopers target tailgaters with new laser guns



Indiana State Police have a new tool to determine whether drivers are tailgating and should get a ticket.


Laser speed guns used by troopers can capture the time elapsed between the back bumper of one vehicle and the front bumper of the one behind it.



The guns also take an accurate image of the license plate and driver's face.

Troopers say the guns remove guesswork and provide evidence that's hard to fight.


The fine for following too closely is around $140, which includes court costs.

I have found that downshifting abruptly takes care of tailgaters.

I never tailgate and can't stand tailgaters. I like this law and hope they nail hundreds of them. Plus catching tailgaters may distract them from catching me speeding.

I think this is awesome. Tailgating is dangerous and very annoying.

I'm a bit skeptical. Car driving faster than you... "oh no, a cop" - pulls into your lane quickly & hits the brakes. Cop measures the distance and now YOU'RE the tailgater.

Maybe if douches in the left lane knew their place and moved right there would be no need for tailgating.

this isnt going to be pretty. if you dont tailgate, people constantly squeeze in front of you and it takes twice as long to get home. if you tailgate, you get a ticket. there is going to be a lot of pissed off people over this...

The fine should be $1400. That would get the dickwad's attention.

This retarded thought is the exact reason traffic sucks so bad. It doesn't take you longer, and it actually slows down the flow, so stop being a horrible driver.
