Yes, between the axles on a long vehicles is the kill position. However, staying behind the rear axle, and moving at the same speed can be safe if you stay alert. This is especially true if the front is well into the intersection coming off a stop. The speed is well within your maneuvering range, and if the front is well past the turning point you know he's not going to turn.
