Default Do cage drivers hate Trikes?

Seems when I drive in the second to the right lane, going a steady 65 mph, cars pass quickly and will pull in front of me and slow down. On streets posted 45 mph, cars seem to want to race past me, and Im going the speed limit. I usually just pull over to the shoulder and wave them to pass with my left hand, tempted to flip them off. Going to the casino, cars are always riding my *** and I'm going the speed limit. I do not like cars riding my ***. I'm starting to get pissed when riding due to the attitude drivers have. I'm not paranoid but do other riders have these issues or am I to over observant? All Sarcasm is also welcome.

It's good to pay attention to what's going on around you. Just dont over think, it will drive you crazy

maybe they have not seen many trikes, and are just trying to get a better view. don't get between a penny slot machine player and a casino. lastly, pick up the pace. you are giving us a bad reputation by just running the speed limit.

Get the brake light flasher, any brand. I find that I do not get tailgated on my bike and when at a stoplight, they stay well back. I use a Nisan Tailblazer.

Cage drivers hate everybody. The touch of a steering wheel causes it.

Personally I don't think it has anything to do with the trike. this is the society we have become, a bunch of worthless, inconsiderate, inattentive drivers. Its the breakdown of social norms such as driving customs that is killing our society.

I don't think it is the trike either. People would pull the same crap if you are in your cage. I have a highway commute to work and I will be in the right lane doing well above the speed limit and people will still be on my ***. They are doing at least 90-100 MPH. They are distracted driving at these speeds. The morning isn't bad, but I occasionally see the accidents that have me sitting in traffic for 45 minutes to an hour on the drive home. I feel like telling the driver who caused the crash, " it is because of you that I will be getting home late, thank you a hole" But I know I cant say that... People are not that good of drivers either, it is the everybody gets a trophy generation, they don't realize they suck until they hurt or kill somebody... freaking nuts that's what they are

^^ This ^^

I run into the same unruly behavior when I'm driving a car or pickup truck. People in a hurry, people distracted, people texting or talking on their digital umbilical cord...

Be aware and don't take it personally unless they flip you off!
