Explanation
At 55 mph, an average passenger vehicle takes about 300 feet to react and come to a complete stop. Larger vehicles, like trucks, need even more distance (up to 400 feet) because the heavier the vehicle and the faster it is moving, the longer it takes to stop safely. Always maintain extra space when following a truck, and never cut in front and brake suddenly, as the truck may not be able to stop in time.
