You are driving on the freeway. The vehicle in front of you is a large truck. You should drive:

Question

When you follow so closely behind a truck that you cannot see the truck driver’s side view mirrors, the trucker cannot see you and has no way of knowing you are there. Tailgating a truck, or any vehicle, is dangerous because you take away your own cushion of safety if the vehicle in front of you stops quickly.

Accepted Answer

Farther behind the truck than you would when following a passenger vehicle.

Answer

Closely behind the truck in bad weather because the driver can see farther ahead than you can.

Answer

No more than one car length behind the truck so the driver can see you.
