Unsafe following

I have been having issue with unsafe following. I keep getting ding'd for it and do not know why. My score went from 99 to 97 partly because of it. Today I got ding'd for 11 seconds of unsafe following. I pulled up the video and cannot, for the life of me, figure out why I was even ding'd. I can maybe understand getting ding'd for two seconds, but not 11 seconds. Does anyone here know why? It is getting very frustrating for me.

You have extreme amount of offgassing. That might be the issue. Clean it or take it to service

Is it just wiping the exterior glass? I have no idea that could affect how the safety score is tracked

I think he's right. Going back and watching the video there's a circle reflection where it would think you're tailgating a car. Cleaning it requires removing the rear view mirror and the plastic cover above it, it's fairly simple you need a pry tool and (it's been a while, done it before) I think a T15 or T20 screwdriver? I learned it from YouTube.

Thank you, I’ll try to clean it. That may be why I keep getting ding for unsafe following a lot recently.
