Wow - I've never actually seen this type of incident captured on video before. It's downright scary. I can't remember passing a tractor trailer very often, unless it was on a steep hill with a passing lane. They are usually passing me, because I keep the speed around 62 MPH.

i feel like they are always passing me (sometimes with a look of "look at that little SUV with that little trailer hehehe"). i prefer to just get in the right lane, set the cruise control and enjoy some tunes, no need for anything even potentially risky.

Most of the 18-wheelers have a 53' trailer, and then the truck itself is probably about 20' long, for a total of 73'. My TT is almost 32' and my truck is 19' long, for a total length of 51'. And my total rig is about 12,000 pounds loaded. So while the tractor trailers are longer and heavier, I don't exactly feel "little" when driving the highways with them. ;)

was actually being specific to my setup...17' TT and about 15' TV. weight is less than half of yours...like i said, little :)
