>>>Tailgating !

Is that sarcasm???

One can be behind a vehicle with the requisite space between, and be impacted when debris flies of the front vehicle. You've never had it happen to you apparently...

In winter, the "rules" change. 18 Wheelers are given a MUCH larger berth after they join the highway. Smaller vehicles are given appropriate berth. Winter rules are much different than Summer rules where braking distances are the only major concern.

There are old Pilots and bold Pilots, but no old, bold Pilots.

In 1997 a co-worker was decapitated by a sheet of ice that flew off the top of the semi in front of him. He was on his way home from work. Killed instantly - closed coffin funeral.
