and that attitude will get you killed. In any defensive driving school they teach "Expect the Unexpected" Repeat: "Expect the Unexpected".

That means increase the following distance when trailing a Semi to about double what you would normally follow. Normally you should count a second for each ten MPH of speed. Traveling 60 MPH? Count one one thousand, two one thousand, three one thousand, four one thousand, five one thousand, six one thousand. That much time should elapse before your front bumper crosses the point on the roadway the vehicle in front of you just passed.

DOUBLE THAT time frame when trailing a semi tractor truck and you will live a long long time. Shorten that time frame and you'll end up like "I bought a Corvette but look ma, now I don't have head" man.
