Not true. I wouldn't think that big rig drivers appreciate tailgaters any more than other drivers. It impedes their ability to drive as safely as possible, knowing that another (potentially careless) vehicle is following them closely behind. It splits their attention from what is happening in front them, and that's not good for anybody. I know tailgaters have this effect on me, and this is why I despise them, and do everything I can to get rid of them (usually just move over one lane and allow the douchemobile to roar by).Abelgoddard said:since there's no downside to the rig, I'm pretty sure they don't care anyway...
Nice attitude.Abelgoddard said:Either way I really don't care. If they hit me they wouldn't do any damage.
Sure you can. On a multi-lane road, you can move over and let them pass. On a single-lane road, you can always temporarily pull over.Abelgoddard said:Driving defensively can only go so far, and you really can't do much about the people behind you in any case.
