Drafting Dangers

In an effort to save gasoline, some reckless drivers experiment with a dangerous technique known as “drafting.” Drafting consists of following closely behind another vehicle to take advantage of the wake it produces. Eighteen-wheelers are attractive targets for drafting because their exceptionally large size translates to a larger wake. However, because drafting dramatically increases the likelihood of collisions, truck drivers should take care to distance themselves from vehicles that exhibit this behavior.

Consequences of Drafting

Drafting makes the road less safe for drafters and non-drafters alike. Safe drivers should keep at least two car lengths between themselves and the car in front of them. Drafters typically stay in much closer proximity, which raises the risk of an accident.

When a long-distance freight truck is involved in an accident, it can seriously jeopardize the financial security of a trucking company. No trucking company should have to deal with the consequences of drafting without assistance. If you need cash to make repairs or replace a truck after a drafting incident, a factoring service may be able to help.
