what could happen if your tires don’t grip the road and that driver in the truck can’t stop?

So I need this to make sense and grammer needs to be correct as well. If rewording is needed please add something then.

Thinking about passing??

Of course tailgating is a No- No! Trucks flashing lights from dim to bright a couple of times to gain attention. This allows the driver time to move over and to reduce the speed of their truck. Make the pass with authority do not hang out beside the heavy equipment or trucks get around, increase the distance between the two, thus slowing down and making them brake for you after the pass. Truck drivers will sometime’s wave around, flash blinkers, or lights, while they are slowing down letting you know it safe to pass. It’s your choice to pass or stay behind. If you choose to stay behind DON’T Tailgate! Maintain a safe following distance remember is the summer time you have flying rocks and in the winter time you have to increased your following distance to ensure you don’t slide into the back of something.

Don’t forget about blowers, wait until the Operator acknowledges you, stops, and raises the blower head to stop the snow from blowing. Make sure to allow blades or plows to do the same. When entering roadways into active traffic, it is an absolute must when on the slope and even at home for drivers to remain patient and try to remember your defense driving techniques “Get the big picture”. It seems like we always find ourselves in a hurry and rush into oncoming traffic. Is that fuel truck you just pulled out in front of is fully loaded? Do you think that truck can stop quickly or what could happen if your tires don’t grip the road and that driver in the truck can’t stop? A vac truck can weigh in excess of 200,000lbs when fully loaded, Remember your choice don’t only affect you on the road they affect your family and my family. Stay Alert and Stay Alive.
