I received a civil complaint from a Fish and Wildlife officer in Vermont for following too closely. The officer did not pull me over at the time of the incident, and he did not call to State Police to stop me, instead he mailed me a violation. Since this is a civil complaint, I am assuming he is issuing this as a civilian and not an officer. I am planning on filing a motion to dismiss, as the Vermont law states "The operator of a vehicle shall not, in a careless or imprudent manner, approach, pass, or maintain speed unnecessarily close to a vulnerable user" and I truly do not believe I was following too closely. What would I need to prove in court to dismiss?
