Just look @ our resident LLB, known as "POA," among other nyms.

IMO, to ride alongside/micropass any large truck is not a bright idea.
Not just because of the fact that the driver might not see you, but you
don't want to be next to him if a tire lets go. A few years ago, I was
about 400 to 500 ft behind a dump truck who had one of his rear tires let
go. Even at that distance, I felt the shock from the explosion and was
showered with debris.
