... I don't drive that close to cars, but I wonder if that's what some people are thinking. Not to be sexist, or generalize one type of vehicle owner, but it seems like lots of women driving big SUVs get closer than anyone in any other type of vehicle.
One thing I do, that I was wondering about, is drafting semis. When going a long distance on the highway at night, I'll get within a foot or two of the trailer's bumper. I can usually get about 25 mpg riding the draft, compared to about 10 normally. Does that piss off truckers?
