Legal Question in Traffic Law in Georgia

Following too closely

Is it the law in Georgia that the person who hits someone else is automatically cited for following too closely?

If someone believes they were not treated appropriately at the scene of an accident by the responding officer, to whom should he/she complain?

Thank you...

Re: Following too closely

It is not automatic, but normally if you strike someone from behind moving forward, you were following too closely.
