Yeah.. but the roads are public and the lanes are limited.

My only experience with this was an elderly gentleman in a new stingray. His brake lights were the only intermittent lights I encountered, as he seemed un-interesrted in using his turn signals before changing lanes (although I am in FL, and this is an especially big issue among FL drivers...).

I propose one thought to reflect upon:

If you are a in a cool car AND a safe driver, other cars will either be pleased to be behind you or drive as normal.

If drivers strive to NOT be behind you, which is not always easily achieved, it's improbable that they are doing so for a reason other than irritation...

Is that the aim of motorists navigating driving public roads: To irritate other drivers so much that they avoid being near you like a plague victim with spurting pustules?

If the answer is: Whatever it takes to keep people away from me, so I can get from point A to B undisturbed, while I feel your pain, I would caution you that the specific chosen solution may be contributing to the general, and seemingly unavoidable, problem...

see further certain views vociferously expoused on the merits of powerful, easily concealable, repeating firearms and personal safety... a noble, and well-meaning idea that is empirically found to contribute to undesirable outcomes far more than desirable ones...
