Truck drivers can get angry at some of the antics pulled by people in passenger vehicles. Among the worst are when car drivers put trucks into positions where their size is a key disadvantage, making the road more dangerous for both you and them.
One of the most common complaints from truck drivers is that people in cars ride in trucks’ huge blind spots — which are indeed pretty big.
If you’re traveling in the same lane as a semi, you should stay at least 30 feet behind the trailer. Otherwise, it makes tailgating a big truck even more risky than when you do it to a car, since the truck won’t even know you’re there.
