This whole marbles and nuts and bolts thing is just stupid. Where do you think these things end up after you try to hit you enemy? Trucks kick them back up into YOU. The ones that miss hit some poor sucker driving along minding their own business. If your on a highway and playing marbles you better be willing to play the game to the end if you hit the wrong guy. I've been hit with crap on the road that was kicked up and almost knocked me off the bike. A 1/2" bolt going 75 MPH is deadly. If you can't think of a better way to let tailgaters get by you other than that you maybe shouldn't be on a highway. And that's what I think of that.

Interestingly enough, I notice when I come to a stop in traffic (always keeping a good distance behind the car in front of me), the car in front of me almost always scoots up away from me. Maybe ******** do appear larger in mirrors, lol.

I have waved them off, using your hand motion for them to back off. Then I slowly slow down until they pass me. Cant fix stupid.

There's so many cars out there (especially SUVs) with a hard-on to get to the mall, that it's almost impossible to create and keep a safe distance between you and the other vehicles.

I get that alot too. I have always assumed that they find my bright headlight and auxiliary headlights (which I always have on) annoying.
