Oh man this is a sensitive issue for me!
This is why I always park almost a car length behind the vehicle in front of me, so that when some A-hole or A-holess on a cell eating breakfast while clipping their nails doesn't see me, I can have at least maybe some route for escape.
People drive behind me sooo close that I cannot see either their headlights or windsheild it just royaly pisses me off, and first chance I get I let them go ahead of me, or speed off whenever possible.
I truely believe at times that driving this car is at times scarier than riding the CBR

I actually was run out of my lane by an MG - the old fart in the car was yacking on his cell and when he came over into my lane with no signal I hit the brakes and horn at the same time. He did not flinch and just flipped me off. I wish I had been driving my Lex, I would have held my lane and destroyed his MG.

I decided the wimpy 108db horns had to go so I replaced them that weekend with 130db horns, just in case.

I hate when people don't pay attention and then when you let them know they are complete asses about it.

take matters into your own hands, get out of danger yourself

ill tell stories about people about to run me off the road/side swipe me and they are always like omg did you honk!??

and to be honest, when im bout to get smashed into a barrier at 65mph.. the first thing i think of ISNT to honk.. im not gonna go, well im gonna honk and HOPE that THEY hear me and THEY realize whats going on in time, im getting the #### out of danger as fast as i can, be it hit the brakes or speed up passed them

either way you plea though, i do believe owning a car like this WILL make you a better driver.. either that or you wont have this car long before either you or someone else smashes it
