    If you drive like a jerk, other drivers will act accordingly. I never have any issues, other than the usual stuff from the very small minority that drive trucks and think any small car should not be on the road.

    I stay right except to pass. I just drive the speed limit or very close to it. That seem enough to piss off a lot of people.

    I answered yes because of an incident that involved a driver but no one was driving.

    i had parked in a small parking lot of a golf course. It is nicely paved but the spaces, in my opinion, were not properly marked, and I ended up parking in an area marked no parking with striped diagonal lines. There was plenty of room. (But yeah it was still “bad” of me to do it.)

    I was there to meet people for dinner in the clubhouse. When I came out later to go home, it was dark. I got in my car and noticed some funny stuff on the floor on the passengers side. It was window glass.

    Later, I found the rock the thief used to break the window. And I realized to my dismay that I had stupidly left my purse, and wallet (minus the credit card), in the front seat. It was that, not my weird parking, that got my car broken into.

    As I was sitting with the police officer who took my report, a couple walked by going toward the clubhouse. “Oh look at that,” one of them said “serves ‘em right. People who drive those things think they can do whatever they want.”

    I was astonished. But then, I think people with giant SUV’s are pretty stupid so I guess judging car owners based on the make and model they drive is something we all do.
