Tailgating charges in Mississippi
Tailgating — following too closely — is charged when an officer alleges you didn't keep a safe distance behind another vehicle. It is frequently cited after rear-end collisions. In Mississippi, the Mississippi DPS can act on your record even though the state has no demerit-point system, and the conviction follows you to your insurer.
Why fight your Tailgating ticket?
Defenses that actually work
Defenses address sudden stops by the lead vehicle, traffic density, the officer's distance estimate, and the lack of an objective measurement.
What's at stake in Mississippi
A following-too-closely conviction adds points and is often used to pin fault in rear-end accident claims.
Prevent insurance increases
A tailgating conviction can raise Mississippi premiums by roughly 26% — often for three years. Fighting the ticket can prevent that.
Flat fee, no financial risk
You pay a one-time flat fee regardless of how much attorney time your case takes. If we can't match you, you pay nothing.
