The general rule is a car length for every 10 mph. I don't know if that's how they define it in GA. Sometimes it is at least three seconds behind the car in front. Find out.
So, if she were going 10 mph that's one car length. Then hitting her brakes, well, that's zero car lengths isn't it? And you said you were going 15 - 20 mph when the cop pulled you over -- 2 car lengths or less. At those speeds it would take being right up on her bumper to be tailgating.
I think you should go to court. Finding a good lawyer will help. In fact, many times that will get you off without anything on your record because what they really want (even though they say it's for safety and they know better) is your money for the municipality and all those associated with the court (read lawyers).
Good luck.
