Yeah, I too overtake them as soon as possible... Bus guys are notorious for applying breaks suddenly and those huge trucks with containers, logs etc... etc... are even worse!

Really? As I believe if you keep on driving your car at 30-40 kmph you'll loose more fuel to travel the same distance...

+ the risk of accident ;)

First dont believe anything. ( believe means U DONT NO :yes: )

Nope not at 30 or 40

Speed 55mph

Distance / mpg / % Difference

100ft - 35.5 - 11%
50ft - 38.5 - 20%
20ft - 40.5 - 27%
10ft - 44.5 - 39%
2ft - 41 - 28%

Coz
When u close 2ft ur trying to struggle with gas paddel to keep that distance. So its hurts to fuel efficiency. That is the only reason.

above results r depends on vehicals

BUT u ever cant keep those distance in reall life.

If he suddenly hit the brakes u only have some mili seconds:shocked: to react that. So if u r even hope to keep those distance ur COMPLETELY STUPID.:yes:

Well, But in SL, if u drive behind a huge vehicle... there is 50% more chance for you to get a heart attack while driving :P:P:P:P :lol: he he... ;););) - coz some times the huge cargo inside keeps swaying (chairs, logs etc...) :P:P:P
