With your post title, I would drive in front of him all day long with ZERO concerns! Behind him, it’s a different story 😬

I see him stopping efficiently as a prolbem. I would not want to be in front of him with all the weight pushing his van if i had to get stop quickly... reguardless, its a terrible idea

He‘ll be way back barley seen in my rearview mirror ;)

I have a habbit of not driving in front or behind Semi’s and not behind any large truck or anyone towing anything. I also read drivers behind me and if I see their heads bobbing, then they are distracted with their cell phone, I change lanes quickly. Don’t have the patience for idiots.

See it so much. Pretty in tune to it on the bike. I love rolling up next to them and just staring. Make the hand to ear phone motion, then speed off

If his brakes are working on the trailer, he's fine and can stop in a very short distance. If not, he's stopping a very heavy load. I'd be more concerned about his recommended pulling weight. His transmission is not too happy.

Best way to get a rock in your windshield is to stay behind someone with a trailer - always pass as soon as safely possible. This guy? I'd try another road!

Biggest issue I see is the angle of the trailer. WAY too much weight on the tongue. Ass end of that van is practically on the ground and front is lifted. Not going to have any control.
