    Yeah they happen with enough regularity that companies aren’t surprised, especially if they have a lot of trucks.

    So the smart move as a car-driver is not to linger by the tires ever. Really, just never linger by them.

      I just hate being near those things in general. Pass as quick as possible and create some space.

        People behind wondering why you’re allowing a couple carlengths gap “ahead” of the semi (but in your lane) as you prepare to swiftly pass it, try watching some YouTube silly!

          That’s just what you’re supposed to do, what if the semi has to swerve or there’s heavy wind

              I mean thats how you pass any car, you never sit back in the blind spot, you pass swiftly, then get back into the right-hand lane.
