But again, what we're talking about here is NOT the situation where you choose to draft, it's the crowded highways in which you can't avoid drafting except by driving in a way that seems to me to be both inconsiderate and a danger to others.
As for following at X distance behind a truck, in these conditions what exactly is the problem? You can stop faster than they can, and if you can't you'll impact their rideunder bar at a relatively low speed. You won't be able to see road debris or anything ahead of you because of the traffic...
If we want to discuss lemmings, what of the lemming-like behavior of always driving slow, when going faster is arguably safer and at least as efficient?
