Be aware this can be _DEADLY_ ! .
I *still* do it on occasion when I'm riding my Ural Moto over the grapevine etc. ,but I make sure there's little or no other traffic and I always draft on the left rear corner where the driver can *SEE* me there so if he makes _any_ indication he doesn't want me there , I drop off and find another truck
I usually use Highway Dept. trucks as they're not going anywhere fast and see enough road carnage to make the decision to allow me to draft or indicate I shouldn't .
If the truck you're drafting pops an air brake hose or drops it's drive shaft , YOU WILL DIE so make sure you understand the consequences before popping in behind a speeding Semi in your Subaru 360 or '54VW Beetle.....
I can't recall drafting in my 2CV AZ but I certainly did survive some *really* stupid things in it .
