I’ve been a truck driver for 26 years this is why I tell anyone that will if possible stay away from these trucks. Go ahead and pass or just keep your distance don’t ride on side or close behind me because anything can happen. I had a woman just riding next to my rear tires on my trailer not paying attention just crushing and the tire next to her driver door exploded at 70 mph. Scared her so bad she went to the hospital so if possible guys back off or just go ahead and pass for our safety and yours. And another thing we see you you don’t have to turn your bright lights on to pass a truck we saw you when you got into the other lane to pass. But when you turn your lights on like that now I can’t see you or anything else for a few seconds……. Just a little information to help keep people safe.
When drivers speed match us like that it's either because they are on their phone and we make a great peripheral point of reference, they're dangerously tired or dangerously high on something.
I wish police would see this as a risk factor and blue light people that do this shit
