I'm with you, Cliff.

When the point comes that I can't justify driving unless I draft
behind a big truck to save gas, I'll just stay at home. I stay as far
away as I can from *all* other traffic -- not just big rigs. It's
just not worth the added risk.

We took a driving safety class in order to drive our church van. One of the
things I remember him saying was to find the largest "hole" going your
direction and put yourself in the middle of it.
