In Georgia, following too closely will win you three points on your driver's license and a new line on your criminal record. Before pleading no contest (or 'nolo'), you need to consult an attorney to see if there are alternatives available to you.
Most prosecutors and judges will tell you that pleading 'nolo' will save you from the points but they often don't mention that there are other ways to resolve your case with zero points on your license (like winning the case outright!).
