I have to say, I haven't found this to be true at all.  I tend to keep
as long of a following distance as I can, and I still find myself with
my view blocked by big SUVs (the wider ones, mostly), and 1/2 and up
trucks that are pulling a load.  As well as big cargo type trucks.  The
issue here does seem to be not just "tall", but tall and wide.
