Aerodynamics are for people who can't build engines. --Enzo Ferrari

My own rule of thumb when driving is the Rule of Mirrors. When following, I stay far enough back that I can see the mirrors of the guy in front of me. And when passing, I wait until I can see the headlights of the guy behind me in my own mirrors before pulling in (unless I have to pull in for other reasons, like passing in a Dead Man's passing lane with oncoming traffic).
My dad though; he can drive me nuts when driving with him. We were driving to Quebec via Maine/New Hampshire (the 2-lane highways that take you through the mountains and every little town along the way), and he had a habit of hanging out on the bumper of the log and transport trucks as we drove. I know he annoyed some of those drivers (they'd often pull to the side to let us pass when they could; but those areas are fairly rare), and mom and I eventually snapped at him for tailgating so bad. Only helps for a little bit sadly.
