Being tailgated by a truck is a very scary thing. Visions of Duel come to mind.
That movie scared the crap out of me as a kid! Thank goodness I don't drive a Plymouth Valiant in the desert these days

Around the Midwest, truckers don't seem to get the fuel savings / speed tradeoff. They come barreling up and merge at the last minute to pass, or hit the brakes and ride my arse.

...and they get all bent out of shape if we follow too close.
