I've never understood this intimidation strategy/mentality. "ooh big/mean/fast/close car behind me - I had better speed up/get out of the way or..." or what, precisely? Ram me off of the road? Crash into the back of me? Try and eat me? I don't know what things are like in China, but there is a saying in the UK: "all mouth and no trousers".

I was curious so looked up "all mouth and no trousers". It's corrupted from the expression "all mouth and trousers", and means the same thing!

Whatever it is it works. I swapped a front clip on an old shitbox because the meaner looking newer front clip was cheaper than shipping a replacement bumper cover and it reduced the number of people who camp in the left lane in front of me by a solid 10% (pulling that number out of my ass but whatever it is it's a noticeable amount).
