[QUOTE="David Morrow, post: 171085, member: 413"] A fairly common technique but not without its hazards. Even in daylight, I keep well back from anything with 4 or more wheels. They may shield you from the live stuff, but the dead stuff in the middle of the road can get you. If you're that close, you can't see though the guy in front and when that road kill suddenly appears in the middle of the road in front of you, you'll hit it before you have time to react. One close call changed my habits. I don't use vehicles as shields any time of day or night. If you must follow the big guys, ride behind the left wheels and hope the 9 wheels on that side goosh whatever hard parts are left. [/QUOTE]
