10. I live in a Trump-loving place full of pickups

Only once in awhile have I been on a highway (speed limit 55), been going the speed limit, and had a pickup try to force me out of my lane.

Odd thing is that the last time it was a correctional officer who lives on my country road. I was about to turn left off the 4-lane when he forced me out of the left lane and turned left himself. Yes, my blinker was on. He is just a jerk.

I have taken 4 long road trips lately and other drivers of much bigger SUVs and pickups frequently tried to force me to go faster when I was on the interstate in the right (slow) lane. Speed limit 70 and my speed was 75. I drive a Subaru Crosstrek, a so-called compact SUV, which is really a car.

I haven't had that problem with truckers. Perhaps because I'm rarely on the interstate.

For some people, this is a thing. Just not for the vast majority in my area.
