No matter what you drive, John, you're going to encounter crazy drivers.
Don't allow others to dictate what you drive. Just stay alert and enjoy the ride!

I like this question John Mosier as I think we have all be bullied no matter what size of car we drive. It is a lot scarier when you are in a small car then in a GMC Yukon but it still happens. I've owned a couple of cars lower to the ground then a Mini Cooper but when I did I had a lead foot so I don't remember an incident such as you describe.

I love the notices that say "Student Driver. Please Be Patient." Maybe you could think of something clever like "Lowflying aircraft. Please give me room." OR "Get off my ass before I test your airbags." OR "Blind driver. Please be patient."

I'm glad that you are ok. We have many crazy drivers in my area, following others too close. Often I found that they drove bigger cars/ trucks. Of course that's not always the case. I just don't get the mentality of following too close. I think it's just dumb.

Here it's called "aggressive driving" and it is a big problem because we have so many tourists and transplants from other states. A lot of drivers here have installed the dash cams that record both front and back...it doesn't stop an aggressive driver but comes in handy if there is an accident.

I see it happen to people who drive slow in the left lane. Road rage is a serious issue. I would move over and let them pass me at the 1st sign of them riding my bumper. Here you would soon drive past them and they'd be pulled over on the side of the road for speeding.

We have a lot of F250 diesel turbos w/ chips due to the boating community hauling their 38' open fisherman boats to the ramps every weekend. In this all about me World, size matters when water is the destination, therefore, defensive driving is the rule of the day and often it's those in low places that aren't easily noticed. A driver's license does not take into consideration the vehicle under your control and therein lies the problem. Keep your eyes on the road, your hands upon the wheel!

Always reward the bully and tailgater by slowing down. Actuate the left turn signal immediately. Look for opportunities ahead to block the bully against a minivan.
In the past, such behavior could be tempered by allowing them to see you can dial *54 (FHP). But now, if you are holding a phone, YOU get the ticket. Ahh, so the crazies gave the bullies a win.
A bumper sticker stating "If you don't like this speed you really won't like my other speed!" could inform the tailgater what their immediate future will be.
Seems those driving big trucks believe their time to me more valuable than anyone elses and some of those truck are ear-drum bursting loud.
