Part of the trouble is that many of the big tubs can not see us when we are beside them. Many big tubs also have very large blind spots. Most big tubs don't know how to set their mirrors should they choose to use them. I have been chased out of the left hand lane so often that I am very careful about who or what I pull along side of. If I haven't made eye contact with them I'll only pull up beside them if I have somewhere to go should they decide that my lane looks nicer than theirs.

Once they start coming, blowing your horn and flashing your lights doesn't seem to even slow them down. Since you are invisible to them, sound and light is only a nuisance, easily ignored.

I have even been backed into while stopped. This tub was blocking an intersection and decided to make room for others to get through. She couldn't see my headlights which were shining below her bumper. She had to back up 10 feet to get me. No problem. Trailer hitch dead center in the hood for about 6 inches worth. Would have been enough to **** off a less good natured person.
