0.4secs is about Setting 1 on TACC. Close, but it would be considered a normal follow distance in many urban areas.From the clip I measured the time distance between OP's car and the police car at the time of lane change.
I timed how long the paint strip takes to get to the police car after it emerges from OP's rear bumper.
0.4 seconds.
At 45 miles per hour, in 0.4 seconds the strip travels 8 meters.
The two cars were 8 meters apart.
Considering Model 3 is 4.7 meter long, 8 meters is just about the same distance as a parallel parking space.
At 45 mph, 8 meter distance or 0.4 second interval will feel too close.
...cut people off...
The citation states: MOVED FROM LANE UNSAFELY. Having reviewed the attached rear and side view videos, it is really not clear Here is the link to the dropbox video of rear camera: Dropbox - rear_camera copy.mov - Simplify your life.
I know nothing will come of my complaint as they protect their own. But, I will go ahead nonetheless.
Looked fine. You were close to matching the speed of the white truck in front, as the car adjusted its follow distance, and from the rear cam, there was another vehicle at a stable distance to you. Totally normal merge. Obviously, to your right rear there was a much faster white truck that passed, but you didn't cut him off.In the following video that I just made, the system automatically moved away from the traffic cones all by itself during Navigation On Autopilot mode.
It first automatically signaled to change to the right lane while there were 2 higher speed white pickup trucks from far away approaching. I was driving in the 60's in the slower left lane due to construction and the right traffic was about 75 MPH.
It yielded and waited for the first pickup truck to pass on the right first. Then it seemed to calculate that the second truck was still far behind and it went ahead and changed lane.
It might not look bad in the video, but to witness in real life that truck's momentum to keep pace with the truck in front then had to slow down because I just got my Auto Lane change, it's quite a bad etiquette.
Auto Lane Change is safe but the question is: Is it safe enough to get out of a traffic ticket or a road rage?
I hope that your pessimism is unfounded but good for you for speaking up:I know nothing will come of my complaint as they protect their own. But, I will go ahead nonetheless.
That's right. The police are always right and should never be held accountable for any they ever do. Just bow your head and hand them your papers when told to do so. Remember, "Your papers, please," is not a request; it is a command. And we have been at war with Oceana forever.Good for you. Make those cops pay for doing their jobs. After all we are in 2020, the year of the complaining and unsatisfied. Remember, everyone is perpetually offended, its a great thing for the country. You poor man (Hopefully not assuming your gender and offending you) for them harassing you. It sounded like a horrible life altering ordeal. Good luck comrade.
Also, I am quite interested in seeing this public flogging you took. Any consideration to uploading it to a private YouTube channel and link it here so we can see it ?
At least you realize that all it will accomplish is a waste of some of your time...
I think it is worth it to waste time in an effort to right the wrong.

People like you kill bicyclists and motorcyclists every day.... I did not look in my rear view mirror before allowing the car to change lanes, ...
One thing you can say about the OP, he is not a jackboot licker. That’s always good.
