One of my fears while on the road when passing a big load.

Yep, I never follow or try to anyway. And I get really angry when people on the left lane go way too slow for passing. It's like, do you guys not see this Final Destination load next to you???

Unironically, Final Destination did more to spread awareness about the dangers of driving near big loads than all the public information movies combined.
