A sudden stop and you achieve a zen state. You become one with the semi trailer.

200 to 300 feet...no...But if you are close enough to draft (30 to 50 feet) then you are really too close. That is where I think the "illegal" part comes in. Not saying that it truly IS, but in AZ, cops will pull you over for following too close. What the definition of "Too Close" is, I don't know...may be a Law Enforcement judgement call, may be an actual distance.
Back to your regularly scheduled mayhem...
