Drafting vehicles is a lot of fun. As long as you are covering the brake and you're watching the brake lights/listening to the engine for gear changes, it's not too dangerous. National Express coaches are fucking hard to get a draft off b/c they have excellent acceleration and excellent brakes - the best vehicles are crappy old coaches.
Sometimes it's worth waiting a minute or 2 at the bottom of Archway Road and wait for a bus to stop at the bus stop, then draft it all the way up!
