It's not the DRIVER you have to worry about... it's the steel rear bumper. They're not advanced driving skills either- they're
hypermiling roulette. Sure, I've done it a few times but you just never know what's going to happen so I now always slow back to a safe distance. You'd be surprised how fast a truck can come up on you when the driver slams on the brakes. Ride your bicycle as fast as possible toward a brick wall and grab the brakes from 10 ft. away. Plenty of room, right?
