I agree with all of the comments. I asked because of the experience of my friend and I consider UPS a good and safe outfit. My practice, like mentioned above has been, and will be again, to use it in good weather, daylight, light to moderate traffic and major highways, and moderate hills. Incidentally, I follow the 4 second rule promoted by AARP (which I teach) When the vehicle ahead of you passes a fixed point count 1000-1 etc to 4. At 4 You should be passing the same point. Reevaluate often. Lengthen the time to 5, 6 or even 7 for bad weather, extensive traffic or other adverse situations. And, yes, at longer intervals some will cut in front of you but if you are at or near the limit they will soon be gone.

Keep the shiny side up!
