A young man I know who used to run long haul would drift over on the shoulder if he got tired of a tailgater. The flying gravel would give the tailgater the idea real quick.
When I used to haul bean meal out of Sioux City at night on two lane roads I got so darned tired of cars coming up behind me without dimming their lights and then they just hung there behind me. I rarely have someone come up behind me with their brights on when I drive a car.

On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off.
