  • are you serious... I draft trucks for the fuel economy, just pay close attention for brake lights, I can stop lot faster than them.

  • @Robonatic Dude, you are retarded. If I slam my brakes at the right moment you will run into the back of my trailer. If you are close enough to a truck to draft you are to close, drive a semi truck and you'll know what I'm talking about. Also, if a truck tries to get over... just let him in :).

  • @Camscape there wont be any moment you could get me to hit you when I am drafting, I am at 100% focus, and if a distraction arises I immediately ease off to a safe following speed. I do this ALL the time, I am only concerned with getting in trouble with police.

  • @Robonatic You are still a retard. Tailgating a semi truck causes more stress on the driver. Also, it only takes a split second for something to happen, sorry but there is always a chance for "that one time" to happen to you. Don't care how "careful" you are, something could happen and its your life and the truck driver's job. Assholes like you need to be taken off the road.... along with the text/drink/other distractions and driving people out there one the road.

  • @Camscape If I am tailgating for the purpose of aerodynamic drafting based fuel economic money savings I will not have "that one time" because as i said I am at 100% focus, trust me I am very aware of the possibility of an accident. Most of the time I dont think the truck driver is even aware of me since I am far inside his blind spot.

  • @Robonatic Again, it is stupid and unsafe. A driver will know you are behind him "somewhere" due to shadows during the day and headlights at night. You've obviously never drove a truck before and do not know what goes through truck drivers heads. With that being said, take your 4wheeler attitude and shove it.

  • @Camscape 4wheeler attitude? I am perfectly safe so long as I maintain focus, I will be able to avoid a collision as long as the truck does not hit a brick wall I may be seemingly unaware of. If in the impossible incident of a collision I will be the one at fault and incur the full financial penalty and my insurance will handle the bulk of the payment at the expense of my driving record and monthly payments. The truck driver should not be concerned with me drafting and understand circumstance

  • @Robonatic its no use bro. dumbass truckers like that think they own the road. this dumbass also doesnt understand that disk brakes are far superior to air brakes. it takes an average of about 300 feet to stop an 18 wheeler from 60. a car is about 110-130 feet. he is probably just delusional. all that sitting and masturbating can be very strenuous ive heard.

  • @blaketheparonite91 hey smart one, they have AIR disk brakes now too. and what if a tire blows on the trailer? first thing it does it fly off rearward and whos there? that dumb fuck trying to save a little fuel. and if camscape hammers his binders and locks the brakes up, that little car will kiss the back of the trailer. and what if something goes wrong? dont call him a dumbass trucker. they make north america function, so say thanks you ignorant fuck.

  • @6030diesel air disk brakes are still air brakes. and it still takes 300' to stop. and rubber flying off a tire can cause damage to a car thats 50' back. im not talking about driving 10' away from the trailer, but like 3-4 car lengths. im not saying all truckers are dumbasses. just the ones with the attitude that they own the road and " if i go to get over you just better move"

  • @blaketheparonite91 dude. air disk brakes stop much shorter than air drums, it cuts the stopping distance in half since the brakes dont fade from overheating like drums will. either way, youre dumb as fuck being that close to the back of a semi. that roboretard guy is talking about being so close as to be in the jet stream off the back of the trailer. that is not 3-4 lengths back. thats at a most of 7 feet back.

  • @6030diesel the slip stream off the back of a trailer can reach well over 100 feet behind the trailer. mythbusters showed 11% better fuel economy at 100 feet behind! i looked up air disk brake stopping distance. bobtailing-220-270, loaded-320-380 lol. your a fucking retard

  • @Robonatic lmao, youre about as bright as a 2 watt lightbulb in a power failure. what if a tire blows? first place its gonna go is into your windsheild, and that little piece of glass isnt going to stop it.

  • when i used to tailgate 18 wheelers, my yugo sounded so crazy like getting ready to pass the sound barrier :)
