Yeh with those (and trucks) I just keep a bigger gap in front of me, 
sometimes it amazes me how close people drive behind such vehicles when they 
can't see what's going on further up the road.  Sometimes you can just drive 
a little more to the left of the lane and see past them, but this only works 
if the road is straight or bending to the left a bit, makes me feel safer if 
I can do that.
