I can hardly imagine driving and having 50 feet of empty air between cars. Either it's 3 AM and nobody's out or traffic's too thick. I only draft truckers for short periods. Usually they're going too slow and I'd rather use more gas than fall asleep at the wheel. When they are moving along, I still don't like to draft for very long. I'm not much concerned about the safety aspect, more that I don't want to piss off a trucker that doesn't deserve it. I'd rather die on the road than of the cancer or alzheimers that run in the family. Not that I'd stick around long enough after diagnosis to let either one of those run its course.
