The trailer alone made the whole world afraid of driving behind a log truck.

    Never watched final destination, but I always give some distance for those lorry because i see what an exploding tire can do to you. Those thing is usually filled up to 100psi/120psi, not gonna be good if those hit you or your car. Not to mention the chance of a runaway tire is never 0, or they switching into your lane without noticing you’re there.

    It’s also the scariest thing to drive pass you if you’re cycling.

      Mythbusters covered tires from trucks - tire treads at highway speeds can go right through a windshield (and have killed people this way).

      I spend as little time behind/beside thm as possible.
