Driving Them Up the Wall
Fifty percent of my attention is on traffic ahead and sideways, 50% on potential tailgaters. When they get too close, I put on hazard lights. Ninety percent of the time it works like a charm. If they are dense, I roll the windows down and wave them off, which may reward me with a middle-finger salute, but I’ve never been rear-ended. United we save ourselves.
