Lt. Frank Drebin: Every time I order out.
You take your life in your hands every time you get out of bed, and dispersing vehicles in combat conditions has nothing to do with traffic safety. Whenever my unit was up north we never had a problem getting crews to escort runs from Abu Ghraib to BIAP and back- there was a Burger King at BIAP. Sure, in retrospect it sounds crazy to run those roads just to get some burgers, but it was no riskier than any other time we got into our trucks.

With drafting, I'm already on the road at the same time and place as the trucks or buses. I'm not doing anything more or less unsafe than anyone else, I'm just the car who happens to be behind them. Better someone who's happy about it, someone happy to get the steadier speed and wind block than someone ranting about being stuck behind a truck and frantically looking for a way to shove his way into the line of cars passing it.
