Why should you drive a car a greater distance ahead of a truck than behind it?
Because a truck is heavier than your car, it takes longer to stop than you do. If you drive closely ahead of a truck you are asking for trouble. If you have to stop suddenly, there is no way they are going to be able to stop as quickly as you, even if they see you stop. A truck may also roll right over you instead of just rear-ending you, and flatten your car like a pancake. Moral of the story - keep a safe distance from trucks!
