I will occasionally follow a truck at a safe distance on the interstate. I am no tailgater by any stretch of the imagination. But one thing puzzles me. For some reason, the truck drivers seem to loathe cars following behind them. They will slow down, change lanes, and cut in front of other trucks in order to get the car out from behind them. At the same they are on the CB radio griping and complaining about it. If they paid as much attention to the road ahead of them and not driving through their rear view mirror, they would be a lot safer and the following car would be safer. There is this myth that being in a blind spot behind a truck is dangerous, when it is only really dangerous to be in the side blind spots of a truck. What is behind a truck is not going to hurt the truck or the driver. I wish they would realize this.
