Drafting a lorry seems relatively safe to me. While you cannot come to a stop within 100ft of distance, neither can the truck unless he hit a concrete wall. All of my vehicles can stop much, much quicker than a semi. Besides that, they only travel 60mph tops where I'm at. This isn't nearly as dangerous as those that tailgate doing 85 in the fast lane.
If avoiding danger is paramount, sitting in a padded room in Switzerland is probably the safest option.
Seriously, do we have tailgating semi truck crash statistics anyone?
