Yeah. City folks crowd in on you...it's quite annoying if you're not used to it.

Then there are the drivers who don't feel comfortable unless their car is within 6 feet of the bumper of the car ahead of them, even when they're going 70 or 80 mph. They are a menace to themselves and everybody else. I always try to leave enough room ahead of me on the highway so that if an emergency occurs ahead, I have a chance to avoid it...and then one of these idiots jumps into the space, and I have to back off again...and another one jumps in...etc. By this means they will presumably arrive at their destination a second or two sooner than I do...if they arrive at all, that is.
