That's the way I approach drafting as well.
If there's a truck going the speed I want on the freeway (10kph under PSL) I'll happily tag along behind him.
However, I don't try it anywhere there are side streets, traffic lights, etc. I already have trouble seeing far enough ahead in traffic due to a low roof height.
