You'd think people would be smart enough to figure that out. I've always wondered how someone can pass a truck as big as these things are, knowing that at highway speeds, they'll take up to a 1/4 mile to slow one down, and then get a car length or two in front of them. I've had people pull in front of me so closely that I couldn't even see the back of their car due to the nose of the truck. I was thinking of putting a little sign on my truck saying something like "I don't mind if you commit suicide, but please don't use me as the means."
I always give truckers a lot of respect for the job they do. I've driven some rather large moving trucks and always have the shakes when I'm done. I don't know how you guys maneuver those suckers. But yeah, lots of mass, very very slow stop.
What I don't like is truckers passing me in the left lane when the weather conditions are not favorable and I get hit with the slosh from their tires as they pass... That just makes me nervous.
