some drivers who have been on the highway for a while will focus on an object and naturally streer toward it. it's common for a driver to crash into another vechicle which is parked on the shoulder, even though they have lots of room. this is why i would never ride on a major stretch of highway. that's my first concern. the second concern is what you mentioned about "pull". and the third concern is debris being kicked up by cars\trucks. ever get hit by a rock that's going 90+ mph?
