Driver Tailgated By Commercial Truck Answers 3

What happened? A 16-wheeler tailgated me for a half mile and at times the driver was less than 5 feet behind my rear bumper at 55mpr.
What would you like to see happen? I’d like to see updating and better enforcement for violating the legal distance a truck should travel behind a car.
How do you think others can help? Others should contact lawmakers to advocate for specific truck-following distance laws. (2) Report incidents to local law enforcement or the FMCSA’s National Consumer Complaint Database. (3) Use platforms like Mate3 Networking to share firsthand alerts and build coalitions around road safety.
