Here comes the Thanksgiving holiday, here comes the four-wheeled traffic in places all around the nation that don't see quite as much most times of the year. The Haul Hero outfit this week sent around a series of tips to those in its networks that involve safety education for our passenger-vehicle-piloting fellow citizens, and my mind immediately went to a variety of articles that could easily serve similar purposes, whether a Christmas gift for that newly licensed driver (see operator Toby Bogard's "Semi Aware" book from almost a decade ago) or just a fun explainer around the importance of adequate following distance and other speed/space management (The "Driver's Ed" episode of 2020's Over the Road podcast, a coproduction of Overdrive and PRX's Radiotopia) ...
... a clear explanation of what it means when you hear "that farting sound" of an engine brake in close proximity to your four-wheeler on-highway (from the "Mechanics of trucking" brief explainer episode, answering listener questions) ...
... to efforts like this one in 2020 from the Arizona Department of Transportation.
