Those proportions look a little off. On the Continent trucks are usually 18m long and 4m tall. I know that UK doesn't have the 4m height limit, but I thought most of them were no more than 4-4.5m tall. I could be wrong, though.
Reducing the height to 4m would reduce the wake's length and make it more symmetric (top-down vs side view).

But even with those proportions in the view of the car 54m back it looks so far behind. Maybe I'm just too used to Polish drivers driving bumper to bumper at highway speeds - not for economy, but because they think it's faster. Maybe I'm wrong about that, too
