I recently received a "following to close" ticket in Alabama and would like to know if the ticket will result in points added to my license once I have paid the ticket.

Yes, according to the Alabama Department of Safety if you plead guilty and are convicted of the offense of following too closely then you would have the violation put on your AL driving record and assigned points.

If you pay the ticket and thus plead guilty to the moving violation then the AL DPS should assess you 3 points according to the DPS driver license points system. This Alabama state agency notes that after 2 years points loss their point count for suspension purposes (total accumulation) however they remain on your driver's record.
