To the driver of the 18 wheeler...

I had a guy following me too close last night, I blew a trailer tire and tore the front clip off his camaro. I have pics but can't upload them. That car left on a wrecker. I kinda feel bad for him in a sense. It was a show car. Supercharged and everything. He said it made 650rwhp.

so let me ask the ignorant question, how far back should one be?

I don't know the "technical" answer but I would say about 4-5 seconds off the back of a semi. It gives you a little more reaction time to dodge debris or brake, if a truck blows a steer tire he's gunna pull in that direction really hard and really fast, in a tanker, most result in roll overs. And just my opinion, if one is gunna pass a truck, make it happen pretty quick then move over again.

Check out Myth Busters episode where they test the 18 wheeler losing its tread!!!!! Scary as hell.

Yeah it definitely got my attention real quick. I was loaded running about 75mph
I felt a jolt then cars went everywhere.
