>This sounds more like a scare people who don't know better from trying to enforce their rights, though I do think things like that should have some level of punishment.
Similar to those "not responsible for x" signs you see at stores, when they are 100% legally responsible for x, or those "stay back x distance" signs on large trucks on the highway to try and avoid responsibility for their unsecured loads causing damages.

This is also because the truck driver can’t see you, if you follow too closely. If you can’t see their mirrors, they don’t know you exist. Obviously that’s not safe.
Near me, the only trucks with this signage are hauling gravel. They frequently do a piss-poor job of covering the load and fling gravel that was left outside the bed during loading. I’ve had a fresh windshield chipped in under a month from these a-holes.
