No, seriously though, how close do you follow behind when you're drafting?

Rampant Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt ! Sure its more dangerous than not doing it, but cars are not exploding from drafting. If the draftee stops suddenly and the drafter runs into him, common conception is that it is like hitting a brick wall. ITS NOT!. the difference between the two vehicles is the speed of decelleration times the reaction time. therefore, folks, and bring on the flames - The closer you follow, the safer it is! The two vehicles are going the SAME SPEED. you might as well be parking with a whiskey in your hand, er on your mind. Bring on the FACTS - Where are the flood of deaths attributed to drafting ? No, wait. Drafting is terribly dangerous. Don't do it. Idiots shouldnt be drafting. Leave it to the situationally aware. Where are the facts in this drivel?
