I think I'll do better now.  Knowing that so many others have gone 
through this makes me realize that the only real problem is the rest 
of the world is just ignorant!!!

Since its been 20 years since I've had an LBC on the road I can 
remember that ever happening.  What bothers me the most is when I get 
tail gated.  That irks the shit out of me.  I'm slowly learning to 
just slow down and let them pass me.  As I get older I'm beginning to 
value my life more than my ego.
