Default Following too close from behind - $125 violation

So, I'm leaving the Golden Pond Market with my new $50 tankful of their $3.69/gal gasoline, and Ethel yells out in her Katherine Hepburn voice: 'Hey there Mister, keep it down to 35-mph or it will cost you $125."

With that message in mind, I'm driving the 30-mph go-slow zone that stretches along past Little Squam for about one mile, driving a steady 35-mph and there is a car right there behind me, tail-gating up too close from behind, so I continue along 35-mph until I get to the 40-mph sign, when I up it to 40-mph. And, the tail-gating car continues to hug my bumper from behind as I go 40-mph toward the right turn onto Rt 175.

Next thing I know, there's blue lights and a loud police siren coming up from behind, and this Holderness Cop is right there, stopping the tail-gating car probably for tail-gating.... ha-ha-ha ....... true story! $125 ..... plus two insurance points, or something ..... is that what it really costs? ......
