We call it the "this is where you die zone"

46.8 ft long. 23,000 lbs. And yes… that gap in front of us is there ON PURPOSE.

It’s not an invitation for your Honda Civic to squeeze in like you’re qualifying for NASCAR. 🚛💨

When you cut off a big rig or RV in stop-and-go traffic, you’re taking away the safe stopping distance we NEED to avoid turning your bad decision into everyone’s problem.

We promise we’d also rather not crawl through traffic at 15 mph — but physics doesn’t care that you’re late to life.

So next time you see a big RV leaving space:
✨ It’s safety.
✨ It’s braking distance.
✨ It’s not your personal merge lane.

One of my biggest annoyances in driving is when I try to keep a distance to stay safe (not a huge gap but a safe small one) and someone comes coming in front of me like there is sooo much room for them (in the left lane btw).

I hated when this would happen, especially when I was on the motorcycle

Leaving a gap this big is asking people to merge in front of you. You aren’t at speed, you’re creeping through heavy traffic. If you need that much space to stop 23k lbs at 15-20 mph, it’s a skill, confidence, equipment, or attention issue.

This wouldn't happen if Americans would just walk

If you're "crawling" at 15mph you have plenty of time to stop. If yoy don't like it don't leave the gap.

You are crawling. You aren't driving 50mph. Relax about the space. You can stop on a dime at the 20mph you are driving.

If you need that much space to drive a modern vehicle you need to stay the f*** off the road.
