Stay back 103 feet.
So said the sign on the back of an 18-wheeler today. Not 100 feet. 103 feet. I dropped back, but I think I may have been a couple of feet too close. Didn't have my tape measure with me. :eyes:

1. There was a gated community I drove through one time that had a speed limit of 27.2 miles per hour
on their speed limit signs. I think they're just messing with you :)

2. As long as you can see the trucker's side view mirror both sides
S/he can see you :hi:

Always a good thing.
In accidents, semis usually win :hide:
